Assassin’s Apprentice is the first book in The Farseer Trilogy, introducing the unforgettable story of FitzChivalry Farseer, a royal bastard raised in the shadow of the throne.
Abandoned at a young age, Fitz is brought to the royal court where his true identity is revealed—he is the illegitimate son of a prince. While his blood ties him to royalty, his status as a bastard makes him an outsider.
Recognizing his potential, the king’s advisor trains Fitz in the deadly art of assassination. At the same time, Fitz discovers he possesses two forms of magic: the royal Skill, a mental communication ability, and the forbidden Wit, which allows him to bond with animals.
As political tensions rise and enemies threaten the kingdom, Fitz must navigate a dangerous world of loyalty, secrets, and betrayal while trying to understand who he truly is.
