O jovem Fitz é filho bastardo do nobre Príncipe Cavalaria e cresce na corte do rei Sagaz. Marginalizado por todos, o rapaz refugia-se nos estábulos reais, mas cedo o seu sangue revela o Talento mágico e, por ordens do rei, é secretamente iniciado nas temidas artes do assassino. Quando salteadores bárbaros atacam as costas, Fitz enfrenta a sua primeira e perigosa missão que o lançará num ninho de intrigas. E embora alguns o encarem como uma ameaça ao trono, talvez ele seja a chave para a sobrevivência do reino.com uma narrativa povoada de encantamentos, heroísmo e desonra, paixão e aventura, o Aprendiz de Assassino inicia uma das séries mais bem amadas da fantasia épica.
