Jeff Wheeler's latest novel is The Queen's Poisoner. At Tor.com he tagged five novels where assassins are the good guys, including:Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin HobbRead about another entry on the list.
Of course Fitzchivalry Farseer tops my list in Hobb’s masterful series about a young boy raised at court by the enigmatic Chade to help deal with the enemies of the Farseer throne. Fitz’s loyalty is tested as are his survival skills in knuckle-biting scenes throughout the novel. The young man pays a high emotional toll to fulfill his role, and I think the entire series is a must-read for would-be assassins.
