Book Summary |
The first book in FitzChivalry Farseer's final trilogy by an author who “is acknowledged—not least by her colleague, George R.R. Martin—as one of the pre-eminent writers of modern fantasy fiction." (Sunday Telegraph, UK)
Nearly thirty years ago, Robin Hobb burst upon the fantasy scene with the first of her acclaimed Farseer novels, Assassin’s Apprentice, which introduced the characters of FitzChivalry Farseer and his uncanny friend the Fool. A watershed moment in modern fantasy, this novel—and those that followed—broke exciting new ground in a beloved genre.
Over the years, Hobb’s imagination has soared throughout the mythic lands of the Six Duchies in such bestselling series as the Liveship Traders Trilogy and the Rain Wilds Chronicles. But no matter how far she roamed, her heart always remained with Fitz. And now, Fitz comes to the end of his story his astonishing final trilogy.
FitzChivalry—royal bastard and former king’s assassin—has left his life of intrigue behind. As far as the rest of the world knows, FitzChivalry Farseer is dead and buried. Masquerading as Tom Badgerlock, Fitz is now married to his childhood sweetheart, Molly, and leading the quiet life of a country squire.
Though he is haunted by the disappearance of his uncanny friend the Fool, who did so much to shape Fitz into the man he has become, such private hurts are put aside in the business of daily life. But the appearance of menacing, pale-skinned strangers casts a sinister shadow over Fitz’s past—and his future. Now, to protect his new life, the former assassin must once again take up his old one. . . . |
