Death Of Dulgath, The (riyria Chronicles)

Three times they tried to kill her. Then a professional was hired. So was Riyria.<br/>When the last member of the oldest noble family in Avryn is targeted for assassination, Riyria is hired to foil the plot. Three years have passed since the war-weary mercenary Hadrian and the cynical ex-assassin Royce joined forces to start life as rogues-for-hire. Things have gone well enough until they're asked to help prevent a murder. Now they must venture into an ancient corner of the world to save a mysterious woman who knows more about Royce than is safe and cares less about herself than is sane.<br/><br/>From the best-selling author of The Riyria Revelations comes the third installment of The Riyria Chronicles.
