Assassin's apprentice

Young Fitz is the bastard son of a noble prince. He is kept in the shadows of the court and treated as an outcast by all the royalty, with one exception. This person has arranged for him to be secretly tutored in the arts of an assassin. When barbarous raiders begin to ravage the coasts, he will soon face his first battles. Although some regard him as a threat to their world, he could also be the key to the survival of the kingdom.
