From an extraordinary new voice in fantasy comes the stunning conclusion to the Farseer trilogy, as FitzChivalry confronts his destiny as the catalyst who holds the fate of the kingdom of the Six Duchies...and the world itself.

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....

    This is a fantastic series - I usually gravitate toward female main characters, but Hobb did a such wonderful job with this trilogy that it didn't matter to me if the progatonist was male or female!

    "In today's crowded fantasy market Robin Hobb's books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons" - George R R Martin
    I agree.

    EDIT: I've just finished it, and I have to say I really didn't like how it ended.

  • Compared to the first two books of the series, I found this one veeeeerrry long...I really struggled to finish this...Nice job, but could go with some 200 pages less

  • very, very good indeed.
    there are no loose threads: every single piece of the story has a beginning, a reason and an end. every thing comes to be fully explained.
    this trilogy is surely worth reading. and, as "The Guardian" says: "Robin Hobb is a remarkable storyteller"!!
