Shortlisted for the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel (Robert Holdstock Award) (2018).

A young apprentice to an assassin becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that could destroy a kingdom. Girton Club-foot has no family, a crippled leg, and is apprenticed to the best assassin in the land. He's learning the art of taking lives, but his latest mission tasks him with a far more difficult challenge: to save a life. Someone is trying to kill the heir to the throne, and it is up to Girton to uncover the traitor and prevent the prince's murder. In a kingdom on the brink of civil war and a castle thick with lies, Girton finds friends he never expected, responsibilities he never wanted, and a conspiracy that could destroy an entire kingdom.
