Assassin's Apprentice

Author: Robin Hobb

In a world where magic and politics intertwine, young Fitz, the illegitimate son of a prince, finds himself thrust into the dangerous world of royal intrigue. Trained as an assassin by the enigmatic Chade, Fitz struggles to balance his loyalty to the crown with his own desires for a normal life. As he navigates court politics and hones his skills, Fitz uncovers dark secrets that threaten the kingdom’s stability. Hobb’s rich prose and complex characters draw you into a tale of sacrifice, duty, and the price of power.

Very little worth knowing is taught by fear.
