A Man Betrayed (The Book of Words Book 2) by J.V. Jones

Kylock free of interference kills the king dethrones the queen and takes power for himself proceeding to with Halcus. Melli and Jack are separated she is sold to a flesh trader and he convinced she is dead lets himself be trained to assassinate the man he thinks raped and murdered her. Tawl is trying to lose himself in debauchery and kill himself in the fighting pits and Nabber sees it as his responsibility to get him back on his quest.

This book was ok the story came off as a bit stalled. For a book of 600 pages nothing really happened to advance the plot until the last 200ish pages. Kylock’s point of view is something this book could have done without he just came off as a pathetic loser completely lacking in intelligence. The book is not great but Melli in Bren and Tavalisk make the book interesting and after reading “The Baker's Boy” I want to know how the trilogy ends.
