Apesar de profundamente enredado nos seus conflitos pessoais, o Assassino tem de preparar uma expedição infalível às Ilhas Externas. Para isso há que ensinar ao príncipe dos Seis Ducados tudo o que conseguir sobre as duas magias - duas misteriosas e temidas magias inerentes ao sangue que ambos partilham. Mas na vida de Fitz nada é fácil, e o seu próprio desconhecimento de muito do que diz respeito a essas magias pode ter consequências catastróficas, tanto para si como para o herdeiro… e, em última instância, para o próprio reino. Mas as ameaças não se ficam por aí: quem são realmente aqueles estranhos vilamonteses que apareceram inesperadamente em Torre do Cervo? E os manhosos, que resultará dos seus conflitos internos e que atitude tomará a respeito deles a coroa dos Seis Ducados?

** 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.
