The highly trained assassins of Evendell have a single, unyielding mission: defend the monarch of Bacovia—at any cost. It’s the enduring product of an age-old pact, formed when Bacovia came to the smaller kingdom’s aid militarily a long time ago. But neither party has ever faced the danger that now lurks behind every castle corridor.



Now, a beautiful young assassin named Aislynn has been assigned to protect the heir apparent, Eryk. Yet Eryk’s independent streak offers stiff resistance to what anyone else has planned for him—especially an untested and unfamiliar sentinel. Faced with banishment, Aislynn must stay true to her mission from afar, at precisely the time when the threat against his life is highest.



As Aislynn soon discovers, few things—and people—are as they seem. Whom can she trust as she endeavors to unravel the conspiracy and defeat the terrorists, once and for all?



A fast-paced, smart and savvy fantasy thriller, The King’s Assassin will keep you guessing right up until the shocking finale.
