| Vlad Taltos books are awesome. I've recommended them a bunch of times.
That said, it's not really straight assassin stuff and it is a fantasy setting(some magic/spells, not too much though. That said, there's enough assassin stuff to satisfy you probably, and even if not the writing, setting, and characters are so awesome it's worth it either way.
Only others I know off heart that might fit the bell are the Farseer Trilogy books by Robin Hobb, but by the end the assassin angle is completely secondary. It's more just fantasy than what you're looking for.
