Fantasy roman med mördare och föräldralösa barn

3

Jag läser den här boken på 90-talet, tror jag. Det var en fantasy roman som ägde rum mestadels inom en stad. Allt jag kan komma ihåg är att det var en mördare som skulle döda en kung och det fanns orphans eller street urchins involverade i mordet. Jag tror att det ägde rum under vintern. Jag tror att det hade riddare och mages och varelser armén slogs i en skog. Mordarna var inte huvudpersonerna. Jag tror att mördarna var barnen eller det fanns barn som bevittnade mördaren som förberedde sig för slaget, dödade ett par vakter och sedan mördade han dem eller det kunde ha varit mördaren som förberedde sig för slaget och dödades av barnen. Jag kommer bara ihåg dem som en plotpunkt som fastnar.

Det här låter lite som början på Silverthorn av Raymond Feist. Alla nämnda saker visas i den här novellen.

Silverthorn is a fantasy novel by American writer Raymond E. Feist, the sequel to Magician. Released in 1985, it was followed by A Darkness at Sethanon, the final book in The Riftwar Saga.

A year after his brother Lyam's coronation as king, Arutha returns to his city as the new Prince of Krondor, to begin plans for his wedding. Jimmy the Hand, a young thief, foils an assassination attempt on the prince by a fellow thief, and feeling loyalty toward the prince from previously aiding his escape from the city with Princess Anita (in Magician), he chooses to warn the prince of the attempt on his life instead of reporting the traitor to the Mockers, Krondor's powerful and highly organized guild of thieves. Arutha seeks the Mockers' cooperation to obtain more information on the assassins, and at their request, makes Jimmy a squire of his court. Setting a trap, they capture two agents, who are revealed to be operating out of the temple of Lims-Kragma, Goddess of Death, one of whom is a moredhel whose appearance has been altered. During interrogation, both prisoners will themselves to death rather than divulge their plans. As the High Priestess of Lims-Kragma seeks the truth by bringing them back from beyond the grave, one of the prisoners rises by the power of an unknown enemy, and attacks his captors, slaughtering many royal guards, and addressing Arutha as "Lord of the West" before being destroyed by Father Nathan, a priest of Sung.

Jag tror att jag har läst detta också - fem barn bevittnar mordet - jag har en känsla av mindre fantasi och mer rakt historiskt - Ken Follets Jordens pelare kanske.

In a time of civil war, famine and religious strife, there rises a magnificent Cathedral in Kingsbridge. Against this backdrop, lives entwine: Tom, the master builder, Aliena, the noblewoman, Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge, Jack, the artist in stone and Ellen, the woman from the forest who casts a curse. At once, this is a sensuous and enduring love story and an epic that shines with the fierce spirit of a passionate age.
