Gentleman. Ladykiller. Assassin. Spy.
King Ember has a secret weapon. His name is Killian Lord. He’s the king’s personal assassin. No one is faster with a blade, quicker on a horse, or sharper with a quip. He’s the only man in Alba allowed to kill outside the bounds of chivalry.
And nobody does it better.
In “Assassin Royale,” trouble brews in the north. Evil King Globe is gathering his forces along the border. An invasion is coming—but where will he strike?
Yet King Ember has a bigger problem. Maximilian Durandal, a dark knight in Globe’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 can conquer the world. In the wrong hands, it could destroy Alba.
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. No one has ever beaten him. He’s obsessed, indomitable, undefeated.
Then again, he has never fought Killian Lord…
