Publishers Description: The triumphant conclusion to our three thrilling fantasy series, from the author of the bestselling Farseer and Liveship traders trilogies. The triumphant conclusion to the tale of the Farseers, in which kingdoms must stand or fall on the beat of a dragon's wings, or a Fool's heart. A small and sadly untried coterie -- the old assassin Chade, the serving-boy Thick, Prince Dutiful, and his reluctant Skillmaster, Fitz -- sail towards the distant island of Aslevjal. There they must fulfil the Narcheska's challenge to her betrothed: to lay the head of the dragon Icefyre, whom legends tell is buried there deep beneath the ice, upon her hearth. Only with the completion of this quest can the marriage proceed, and the resulting alliance signal an end to war between the two kingdoms. It is not a happy ship: tensions between the folk of the Six Duchies and their traditional enemies, the Outislanders, lie just beneath the surface. Thick is constantly ill, and his random but powerful Skilling has taken on a dark and menacing tone, while Chade's fascination with the Skill is growing to the point of obsession. Having ensured that his beloved friend the Fool is safely left behind in Buckkeep, Fit Industry Reviews Praise for Robin Hobb:'Robin Hobb's books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons' GEORGE R R MARTINThe Golden Fool 'Complexity and complex world-building are effortlessly dashed off' PUBLISHING NEWSFool's Errand 'In today's crowded fantasy market Robin Hobb's books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons' GEORGE R R MARTINAssassin's Apprentice: 'A wonderful book, written by a writer at the height of her abilities' J V JONESAssassin's Quest: 'An enthralling conclusion to this superb trilogy, displaying an exceptional combination of originality, magic, adventure, character, and drama' KIRKUS REVIEWS
