Or so they thought.

But now the Fool is near death, maimed by mysterious pale-skinned figures whose plans for world domination hinge upon the powers the Fool may share with Fitzs own daughter.

Distracted by the Fools perilous health, and swept up against his will in the intrigues of the royal court, Fitz lets down his guard .

and in a horrible instant, his world is undone and his beloved daughter stolen away by those who would use her as they had once sought to use the Fool--as a weapon.

But FitzChivalry Farseer is not without weapons of his own.

An ancient magic still lives in his veins.

And though he may have let his skills as royal assassin diminish over the years, such things, once learned, are not so easily forgotten.

Now enemies and friends alike are about to learn that nothing is more dangerous than a man who has nothing left to lose.
