Silverthorn – Raymond E. Feist

Silverthorn – Raymond E. Feist. 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.
