Asesino real

FitzChivalry Farseer, the bastard grandson of a king and a trained assassin, has survived his first deadly mission but is left physically and emotionally scarred. He vows to leave the intrigues of the royal court behind, but a kingdom in peril pulls him back. The coastlines are besieged by the relentless Red-Ship Raiders, who pillage towns and leave behind victims stripped of their souls. Yet, a more insidious threat festers within the castle walls, as ambition and treachery threaten to shatter the ruling family and bring the entire realm to its knees.

Thrust back into his role as the king's secret weapon, Fitz must navigate a labyrinth of deadly politics where a single misstep means death. He is a young man torn between his sworn duty to an ailing king, his forbidden love for a woman he can never claim, and the dangerous magic that flows in his blood. As the kingdom weakens from both external attacks and internal decay, Fitz discovers that the greatest sacrifices are demanded not on the battlefield, but in the shadows of the throne.
