ROYAL ASSASSIN

The Farseer Trilogy: Book 2 by Robin Hobb

The Sunday Times Bestselling Epic Fantasy — Internationally Beloved

A kingdom on the edge of ruin. A bastard with too many secrets. And a sacrifice that may cost him everything.

THE STORY THAT WILL CONSUME YOU

Fitz is a royal bastard, a trainee assassin, and the keeper of secrets that could determine the fate of an entire kingdom. But honesty is the bedrock of any relationship — and how can he bare his soul to his beloved Molly when his life is built on shadows and silence?

Danger closes in from every side.

Raiders savage the coastal towns.

The king has been struck down by a mysterious illness.

And within the court, darker ambitions stir.

When Verity leaves in search of the mythical Elderlings, Fitz is left almost entirely alone.

Friendless but for his wolf Nighteyes and the king's strange, motley-clad fool, Fitz finds himself exposed to Prince Regal's malign ambitions — and to a sacrifice he never imagined he would be asked to make.

His heart. His hope. Even his life.
All of it, for the sake of the realm.
