Ep. 052 - Ch. 24 Royal Assassin - Neatbay
Fitz uneasily settles into a routine around Buckkeep, avoiding most everyone and falling deeper into paranoia. An unsettling wake-up call has Fitz running to the King’s chambers to warn him of an attack on Neatbay. Although Shrewd is in pain, he grasps the situation and, despite Regal’s insistence otherwise, deploys aid to the attacked Duchy. Kettricken, Burrich, and Fitz ride and pin the OutIslanders against the keep’s walls and clear out the attackers after a sudden battle. After, Fitz seems to be associated more closely with Nighteyes than ever in the eyes of the soldiers. A year of episodes and Fitz is still not happy. Thank you everyone for sticking with us. We're reading Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb, book 2 of the Farseer Trilogy in the Realm of the Elderlings.
