Paperback. Godric is the bastard son of Eadric Streona, spurned by Eadric's wife and promised nothing by society. At a young age his life is steeped with murder, loss, and betrayal. Godric seems destined for a life of exile and insignificance, but he swears to avenge his father's death, no matter what the cost.

He finds a new identity for himself and successfully reenters the royal court where he initiates his plans of assassination.
