'King of Assassins' in the series 'The Wounded Kingdom' by author R.J. Barker is an incredible story of familial love, loyal friends, prejudice, and secrets. It delves into the world of assassins, plots, betrayals, and secret agendas in the Tired Lands. The final installment follows Girton Club Foot, the apprentice to Merela Karn, King's Assassin, as he navigates through danger, political intrigue, and personal growth.
From The Publisher:
Twenty years ago, Girton began his journey to become the Tired Land's finest assassin and now he'll face his greatest challenge yet in the riveting conclusion to RJ Barker's debut epic fantasy trilogy.
Assassin Girton Club-Foot has lived in relative peace for many years, but now his king, Rufra ap Vthyr, eyes the vacant High-King's throne and will take his court to the capital. In a viper's nest of intrigue, the endgame of twenty years of politics and murder will be played out in the bid to become the King of all Kings.
Friends become enemies, enemies become friends, and the god of death stands closer than ever, casting his shadow over everyone Girton holds dear.
It's assassin versus assassin for the fate of a kingdom...
