The Assassin's Trail is a Heroic Fantasy novel by Charles Moffat.
The
original first edition book was an anthology of short stories about the
titular hero Wrathgar, but the second edition version is a novel in
which the short stories have been reorganized into chapters and
additional chapters added to provide more information about other
characters in the story.
The central plot of
the story is that the main character Wrathgar grows up with a bully
called Muddenklaw, which everyone believes dies during the "Test of
Manhood" at the beginning of the book. However Muddenklaw later turns up
alive and murders a child and leads a group of monsters to attack his
village. Wrathgar is then tasked with hunting down Muddenklaw and
bringing back his head. Meanwhile Muddenklaw decides to join the
Assassin's Guild...
