Fitz is the bastard of the king Chivalry serving six duchies. He will be given up to the castle to its 6 years and we will follow the change. King Subtle his grandfather will protect him and give him an education. It will be his liege that is to say his handyman and solve some particular problem (hence the assassin royal title). We will follow the court intrigues, wars and betrayals. This fifth book I have literally not let go of the day. After a failed attempt to kill Royal, Fitz finally decides to seek truth from (what it should have done in the first place but good). It has been very lucky to get out alive. He will meet a Astérie ménestrelle who wants to accompany him on his quest and Caudron that old lady very enigmatic. We'll find also Nightseye (what art had me miss this one, what I like their only link between the two) and then the crazy and Umbre. We see that the "alleged" death Fitz had greatly affected and he had put forward to do everything to Royal thwarted the plans. Another exciting tome, I am looking forward to read more, I want to revisit and Burrich Patience and learn that Fitz is still alive, I would like Fitz finally takes her in his arms his little girl and I would especially like that Truth found. Finally the author will surely make it all still very exciting. Throw you on this series, you will not be disappointed.
