The Death of Dulgath

by Michael J. Sullivan

Book 3 of the The Riyria Chronicles series

Royce and Hadrian are hired to prevent the assassination of Lady Nysa Dulgath, a noblewoman whose remote coastal territory has unusual customs and secrets. Protecting a target who seems unsurprised by danger becomes complicated when the suspected killer may understand Royce as well as he understands himself. Local politics, old legends, and the nature of Dulgath's people turn a bodyguard assignment into a mystery about identity and fate. Atmospheric and witty, this adventure suits readers who enjoy remote estates, assassination plots, supernatural uncertainty, and partners whose banter steadies them when the job stops making sense.
