The description comes from the publisher:
To catch an assassin, use another assassin…
Girton Kulawiec, journeyman of the best assassin in the land, still has a lot to learn about the art of taking life. However, his latest mission presents him with a much more difficult challenge: he must save a life. Someone – possibly not even one person – is trying to murder the heir to the throne, and Girton and his master are tasked with discovering the traitor’s identity and stopping the assassination.
In a kingdom on the brink of civil war, a castle teeming with lies, Girton makes unexpected friendships, takes on unwanted responsibilities, and discovers intrigues capable of destroying an entire country.
This book is just not good. It is so good that you have to talk about it. She’s really good.
