Top 25 Best Assassin Books

There are a lot of different choices when it comes to fantasy. Sprawling epics, fairy tale adaptations, urban, the list goes on. 

However, sometimes you're just in the mood for some good old fashioned killing, and the Fantasy Assassin genre fits this craving perfectly. 

Assasin Fantasy is a broad term that often covers various underworld activities such as thievery, spying, and other 'outlawed' occupations. So don't think every book we cover is about a shadowy assassin -- thieves are part of the mix too.

Loveable rogues are on the rise, and though these characters certainly aren't lovable, there are few things more awesome than a magic-infused dagger.

Unfortunately, it can be hard to find those stories among the huge volume of books, with the vast amount of 'assassin fantasy' often of dubious quality. 

So we've honed our own literary blades and curated a list of some of the best assassin/rogue fantasy around so you can skip straight to the best.
