Assassin's Quest

Following the devastating events of 'Royal Assassin,' FitzChivalry Farseer is reborn from the brink of death, deeply scarred in both body and soul, after being betrayed and left for dead by his half-brother Regal. The kingdom of the Six Duchies teeters on the precipice of ruin, its capital plundered by Regal, who has seized the throne. The rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost on a desperate, maddening quest to awaken the Elderlings, while Queen Kettricken bravely carries his unborn child, the last hope for the Farseer line. Consumed by grief and a burning desire for justice, Fitz embarks on a solitary, perilous quest: to assassinate Regal and avenge the wrongs committed against his family and his people. This arduous journey forces him to confront not only external threats but also the burgeoning, untamed currents of magic within him—the Wits and the Skill—which threaten to consume him entirely or elevate him to something far beyond his mortal origins. His path intertwines with ancient forces and reveals the true, desperate stakes for the survival of the Six Duchies.
