“If Ian Fleming had set James Bond in a fantasy world, then this would be it.”—5 star GoodReads review

Gentleman. Ladykiller. Assassin. Spy.

King Ember has a secret weapon. His name is Killian Lord. He’s the king’s personal assassin. He’s the only man in Alba permitted to kill outside the bounds of chivalry.

And nobody does it better.

In Assassin Royale, the king of the north is gathering his forces along the border. An invasion is coming—but where will he strike?

What’s more, Maximilian Durandal, a dark knight in the north’s service, has seized the Berghoff estate, a castle by a mountain lake. He’s searching for a powerful magical artifact—the Moonlight Shard.

Legend says whoever wields the Shard could conquer the world.

Short on manpower and time, Ember sends for his secret weapon—Killian Lord.

Lord’s mission is simple. Stop Durandal. But there’s a problem: Durandal is the greatest swordsman on the continent. He’s obsessed, indomitable, undefeated.

Then again, he has never fought Killian Lord…

Assassin Royale is a fast-paced fantasy adventure for fans of action, magic, and a hero who is both assassin and charmer. If you like epic fantasy and James Bond, you’ll love Assassin Royale.
