Summary
EDITORIAL REVIEW: Young Fitz is the
bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow
of the royal court by his father's gruff stableman. He is
treated like an outcast by all the royalty except the devious
King Shrewd, who has him sectetly tutored in the arts of the
assassin. For in Fitz's blood runs the magic Skill--and the
darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and
rejected by his family. As barbarous raiders ravage the coasts,
Fitz is growing to manhood. Soon he will face his first
dangerous, soul-shattering mission. And though some regard him
as a threat to the throne, he may just be the key to the
survival of the kingdom.
