Traspié ha sobrevivido a su primera misión importante como asesino, aunque ha salido muy mal parado. Ahora, los Corsarios de la Vela Roja están sembrando la costa de aldeas calcinadas y víctimas que pronto se transforman en verdugos. Cuando la traición amenaza el trono, a Traspié no le queda más remedio que desentrañar las mortíferas intrigas de la familia real. Y su papel podría exigirle el peor de los sacrificios... Asesino real es el segundo tomo de la icónica trilogía del Vatídico, editada ahora con ilustraciones de Magali Villeneuve. Cada uno de sus libros ha encumbrado a Robin Hobb como una de las voces fundamentales y más premiadas de la literatura fantástica universal. «Una escritora genial». Brandon Sanderson. «En el extenso mercado de la fantasía, los libros de Robin Hobb son diamantes en un mar de zirconita». George R. R. Martin. «Robin Hobb es una de las grandes. Que sus novelas sean adictivas como la morfina no solo se debe a su brillante inventiva, sino al modo en que sus personajes se ven manipulados por el juego de la política». The Times . «Una narradora extraordinaria». The Guardian . «Adoro a Robin Hobb». Patrick Rothfuss

** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found. Robin Hobb is the author of three well-received fantasy trilogies: The Farseer Trilogy (Assassin’s Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin’s Quest), The Liveship Traders Trilogy (Ship of Magic, Mad Ship and Ship of Destiny) and the Tawny Man Trilogy (Fool’s Errand, Golden Fool, and Fool’s Fate) Her current work in progress is entitled Shaman’s Crossing. Robin Hobb lives and works in Tacoma, Washington, and has been a professional writer for over 30 years. In addition to writing, her interests include gardening, mushrooming, and beachcombing. She and her husband Fred have three grown children and one teenager, and three grand-children. She also writes as Megan Lindholm, and works under that name have been finalists for the Hugo award, the Nebula Award, and the Endeavor award. She has twice won an Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Readers’ Award.
