Verra, Vlad's patron goddess, hires him to assassinate a king whose country lies outside the Dragaeran Empire, resulting in increased tension between the two places. Meanwhile, the peasant Teckla and the human Easterners persevere in their fight for civil rights. As Vlad's wife Cawti is a firm partisan of the movement, and Vlad is not, their marriage continues to suffer, causing Vlad to make some decisions that will change his life forever.

All of the Taltos series are worth reading, but this is a personal favourite. By this point in the series all of the characters have matured (in terms of their complexity and back-story), and coupled with excellent naration that makes this a pleasure to listen to.

One of my favourite Taltos books
