Synopsis

A plague of murder has overrun Krondor, the glorious center of the kingdom of Midkemia. Prince Arutha--newly returned from battle with the Morehdel chieftain Delekhan and the renegade magician Makala--is concerned about the rash of unexplained assassinations in his capital city. And so he dispatches his most trusted agent, Squire James--formerly the thief known as Jimmy the Hand--to discover the source of the deadly epidemic. James' hunt will lead him to the dank depths of Krondor, through subterranean tunnel and sewer system to a terrible war that is raging in secret far beneath the streets. For here rival criminal gangs are locked in a death struggle for control of a city's vice--dangerous gangsters who go by the name ""Mockers""...and others in the thrall of a mysterious being known as ""The Crawler."" But the deeper he delves, the closer Squire James gets to the true nature of the horror that has already left untold dead in its wake, a nightmare of corruption and deceit that threatens to destroy his liege and reduce Krondor to ruins. Ensnared by dark, intricate plots and dastardly magics, James must now race to prevent one last murder, the one craven, unthinkable slaying that will plunge Krondor into the all-consuming flames of war without quarter.

Goodreads review by Matthew on September 30, 2017

Middle of a three book series right in the middle of a 30 book series. While I love Feist, I keep getting nervous that I am going to hit a bump in the series and I will encounter some material I don't like quite as much. Luckily, that did not happen here. Honestly, this is the first part of the serie......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on April 28, 2019

For those fans of Jimmy the Hand wanting all the hints of adventure he must have had as a Squire in Arutha's court, becoming a spymaster, hunting down assassins, then this is the book for you. It's weird going back in time to the days after the original Riftwar like this but I'll admit the story pote......more

Goodreads review by YouKneeK on December 24, 2019

This is the second book in the Riftwar Legacy, part of the much larger Riftwar Cycle. Theoretically I had read this book before, but I remembered absolutely nothing about it. While my memories of most of these books have been very faint after 20 years, I usually remember something, however minor or......more

Goodreads review by Nikola on February 28, 2022

Ova druga knjiga "Riftwar Legacy" serijala je za pola ocene bolja od prethodne. Umesto Loklia i Gorata na scenu stupa Viliam, Pagov sin. Squire Dzimi (the hand) Viliam i jos po neki vise nego simpatican karakter, uz princa Arutu, morace da nadju odgovor na seriju u prvi mah nepovezanih ubistava u Kr......more

Goodreads review by Baal Of on January 21, 2023

This book is much better than the first in the trilogy, with tighter plotting and more cohesion to the events within the narrative; this book has better focus, and it is a lot more fun. Maybe the editor had more input, since it seemed to me that Feist's writing tics were toned down. There are still......more
