Fitz is just left a cripple after surviving his first perilous assignment as the king's assassin. He swears to break his promise to King Shrewd and stay in the far-off mountains, broken and resentful. However, he finds himself drawn back to Buckkeep's court and the deadly games played by the royal family due to love and very urgent circumstances.
The Red-Ship Raiders resume their merciless assaults along the coast, leaving behind destroyed communities and insane victims in their wake. The sick king's crown is in danger of being overthrown by betrayal, which is another internal attack on the realm. Fitz may have the key to saving the kingdom at this dangerous time, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice.
