Newly returned from battle, Prince Arutha is puzzled by a rash of assassinations plaguing his city, and commissions his most trusted agent, Squire James--a former thief--to discover the cause. Unless James can prevent one last slaying, his beloved Krondor will be reduced to ruins.
From The Publisher:
New York Times bestselling author Raymond E. Feist "returns us now to a place of unparalleled wonders--a sprawling kingdom coveted by enemies on all sides; a bustling center of commerce and magic, vibrantly alive and eternally in conflict. This is Midkemia, where great heroes are bred, and its glorious center..."
Krondor
Prince Arutha--newly returned from battle--is concerned about a rash of unexplained assassinations that plagues his capital city. And so he commissions his most trusted agent, Squire James--formerly the thief known as "Jimmy the Hand"--to discover the source of the deadly epidemic. The answers seem to lie far beneath the streets in the dank depths of Krondor, where a terrible war rages in secret between two rival criminal gangs: those who call themselves "Mockers" and others in the thrall of a mysterious being known as "The Crawler." But the deeper the Squire delves, the closer he gets to the true nature of the horror that has left untold dead in its wake. And unless James can prevent one last, unthinkable slaying, the nightmare forces of corruption and deceit will destroy his liege and reduce his beloved Krondor to ruins.

Raymond E Feist is an excellent and inventive mastermind of fantasy. He takes the reader into another world. Each of his novels is original and innovative- new and exciting. I always look forward to more from this author! – his Conclave of Shadows series currently in publication is possible the best yet! Stunning!
Feist is absolutely fantastic. He is undoubtedly the leader of the fantasy genre. His characters are so amazingly realistic and his made-up narrative world so strong that it is easy to get lost in the story. Fantastic book by a fantastic author! You can’t go wrong with Raymond E Feist- sure some of his series are better than others, but they’re all good.
Excitement, adventure and great one-liners, this book has it all and will keep you turning pages as fast as you can. The return of Jimmy the Hand as a major character is also one of the reasons that I love this book, but even if you are not a Jimmy fan you will still love this book. I highly recommend this book to all those who enjoy Feist but would suggest that you start at the begining of the Riftwar Saga and read the books through in order to completely understand the entire story, you'll miss out on huge chuncks (and some in jokes) if you don't. Enjoy!
