About the Book
Blood of Assassins is the epic sequel to RJ Barker's debut Age of Assassins, set in a world ravaged by magic, featuring a cast of assassins, knights, ambitious noblemen, and fools for fans of Brent Weeks and Robin Hobb.
In a world scarred by magic and the ambitions of powerful men, Girton Club-foot must face his greatest challenge yet - and there will be blood to pay.
After five long years away, hiding in the guise of a mercenary, Girton and his master have returned to Maniyadoc and the Long Tides in hope of finding sanctuary in the court of his friend, King Rufra.
But there is to be no rest and death, as always, dogs Girton's heels.
The place he knew no longer exists. War rages across Maniyadoc, intrigue creates sinister shadows in which true intentions are hidden and distrust is everywhere. Girton finds himself hurrying to uncover a plot to murder King Rufra on, what should be, the day of the king's greatest victory.
But while Girton is faced with threats from outside, perhaps his greatest enemy hides beneath his own skin.
