A stunningly illustrated anniversary edition of the final chapter of
the beloved Farseer Trilogy, hailed by George R. R. Martin as "fantasy
as it ought to be written," and Lin-Manuel Miranda as "an incredible
series."
FitzChivalry Farseer and the Fool return in this final volume of the
Farseer Trilogy, crowning the celebration of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of Robin Hobb's legendary series. The matched trilogy is now
complete, rounded out by Assassin's Quest, which contains ten
full-color illustrations by Magali Villeneuve. Step into the
spellbinding finale of this modern classic of epic fantasy, replete with
adventure, magic, treachery, and sacrifice.
King Shrewd is dead at the hands of his son Regal. As is Fitz--or so his
enemies and friends believe. But with the help of his allies and his
beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul.
The kingdom also teeters toward ruin: Regal has plundered and abandoned
the capital, while the rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost to his mad
quest--perhaps to death. Only Verity's return--or the heir his princess
carries--can save the Six Duchies.
But Fitz will not wait. Driven by loss and bitter memories, he
undertakes a quest: to kill Regal. The journey casts him into deep
waters, as he discovers wild currents of magic within him--currents that
will either drown him or make him something more than he was.
