    About this ebook

    The Imager Porfolio is a bestselling and innovative epic fantasy series from New York Times bestselling author L. E. Modesitt, Jr. that RT Book Reviews says “shines with engrossing characters, terrific plotting, and realistic world-building.” Continue a new story arc with Assassin's Price.

    Six years have passed since the failed uprising of the High Holders, and Charyn, the rex’s heir, has come of age and sets out to educate himself, against his father’s wishes, on how to be an effective rex after his father.

    When privateers attack the rex’s ships, and threats escalate against the rex and his family, Charyn realizes that no one is safe--for an assassin stalks them all.

    The future of Solidar rests in Charyn’s hands. Will he rise to the challenge or will the kingdom descend into chaos?

      A bit less dramatic both in the presentation and than the incidents, though the body count is not in the thousands, or even tens. The young heir to the Rex is the protagonist, a very level headed individual with a desire to learn more about what he will inherit. Typical in pace and style.
    • 3/5
      Assassin's Price is number 11 in The Imager Portfolio and I've read them all. I like Modesitt because his fantasy is very grounded in economic, social and political reality. This is how humans would behave in any world, magical or not. I enjoyed this one too. The hero is not an Imager himself which seems to have put some readers off but didn't bother me. Charyn is heir to the throne of Solidar and troubles pile up on him as the story goes on. Modesitt draws you in slowly so don't expect any slam-bang action but it's a good read. Solid. I always think of him as the Anthony Trollope of fantasy.
