NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The stunning conclusion to Robin Hobb's
Fitz and the Fool trilogy, which began with Fool's Assassin and
Fool's Quest
"Every new Robin Hobb novel is a cause for celebration. Along with
millions of her other fans, I delight in every visit to the Six Duchies,
the Rain Wilds, and the Out Islands, and can't wait to see where she'll
take me next."--George R. R. Martin
More than twenty years ago, the first epic fantasy novel featuring
FitzChivalry Farseer and his mysterious, often maddening friend the Fool
struck like a bolt of brilliant lightning. Now New York Times
bestselling author Robin Hobb brings to a momentous close the third
trilogy featuring these beloved characters in a novel of unsurpassed
artistry that is sure to endure as one of the great masterworks of the
genre.
Fitz's young daughter, Bee, has been kidnapped by the Servants, a secret
society whose members not only dream of possible futures but use their
prophecies to add to their wealth and influence. Bee plays a crucial
part in these dreams--but just what part remains uncertain.
As Bee is dragged by her sadistic captors across half the world, Fitz
and the Fool, believing her dead, embark on a mission of revenge that
will take them to the distant island where the Servants reside--a place
the Fool once called home and later called prison. It was a hell the
Fool escaped, maimed and blinded, swearing never to return.
For all his injuries, however, the Fool is not as helpless as he seems.
He is a dreamer too, able to shape the future. And though Fitz is no
longer the peerless assassin of his youth, he remains a man to be
reckoned with--deadly with blades and poison, and adept in Farseer
magic. And their goal is simple: to make sure not a single Servant
survives their scourge.
