It strongly reminds me of the Assassin books by Robin Hobb. Fitz is the obvious 'child without a name', made into a royal assassin with his royal blood hidden, made to take an oath to the King when too young to comprehend, denied his true love for Molly, etc. Robin Hobb is thanked in the Silent Force booklet for 'inspiration'.
