Fitz has survived his first hazardous mission as king's assassin, but is left little more than a cripple. Battered and bitter he vows to abandon his oath to King Shrewd, remaining in the distant mountains. But love and events of terrible urgency draw him back to the court at Buckkeep, and into the deadly intrigues of the royal family.
