Books like Asesino Real by Robin Hobb
Fitz, the illegitimate son of Prince Chivalry, is trained by the scheming King Shrewd in the art of assassination. After a harrowing first mission, he returns to a court in turmoil. With the king on the brink of death and Fitz’s ally embroiled in a desperate quest, the throne itself faces peril. Meanwhile, the Red Ship Raiders intensify attacks on the Six Duchies, decimating coastal towns. In this time of crisis, Fitz’s fate—and potentially the kingdom’s—rests on his shoulders, demanding a costly sacrifice. The story unfolds within the richly imagined Realm of the Elderlings, part of the Farseer Trilogy.
