A series of apparently random murders has brought an eerie quiet to the city. Where normally the streets are bustling with merchants and tricksters, good life and night life, now there seems to be a self-imposed curfew at sundown.\r\n\r\nMutilated bodies have been turning up in the sewers, the Mocker\u2019 demense. The Thieves\u2019 Guild has been decimated \u2013 men, women, children, it matters not. The head of the Mockers is missing, presumed dead. Those few who survived the terrible attacks are lying low. Very low.\r\n\r\nThe Crawler, it seems, is back in town. And he\u2019s being helped by others, more ruthless than he. Can it be the Nighthawks again? The Prince enlists his loyal Squire James to find out. If anyone can unravel what\u2019s happening in the bowels of Krondor, he can. He knows the sewers like the back of his hand. After all, as Jimmy the Hand, he grew up there.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, the retinue of the Duke of Olasko has arrived suddenly at the palace, a week ahead of schedule but with no apologies and many demands. They say they are here to hunt. But to hunt what? Pug\u2019s son William, on his first posting as a knight-lieutenant, must escort them into the wilds. It should have been a straightforward mission\u2026"}, "location": "/works/OL554707W", "subtitle": "The Assassins", "latest_revision": 5, "revision": 5, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-08T05:07:53.839526"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2026-02-05T19:35:22.189550"}}
