As this epic trilogy reaches its unforgettable conclusion, young FitzChivalry faces his toughest opponent ever: himself. Embittered and broken, his body reclaimed from the grave and his spirit from the care of his bond-wolf Nighteyes, Fitz awakens to a world where everything he once held dear is in ruins. King Shrewd is dead; Prince Regal has claimed the throne and rules the kingdom with a cruel and selfish negligence. Molly has deserted him for parts unknown. Queen Kettricken and her unborn child have fled to the mountains with the Fool, Verity is lost seeking the elusive Elderlings, and Fitz's presumed death forever bars him from Buckkeep. The only companions he had left in his solitude are Chade and Burrich, who wrestle him reluctantly back to humanity after his sojourn in Nighteyes' mind.



But angry with the lot Fate has cast him, Fitz drives away even these loyal companions, and for the first time faces his life on his own, without anyone to guide or lead him. And what he most desires is revenge against Regal, for everything the usurper has cost him. So, preparing his assassin's kit, he sets out for Regal's new capital at Tradeford, determined to murder the treacherous "king." Without guidance, though, he botches the attempt, and an urgent sending by Verity to save him leaves Fitz imprinted with the burning imperative to find and aid his true king in his quest to aid the land.



Eventually fighting his way through to the mountains, he rejoins Kettricken and the Fool in a quest for Verity--and there in the Skill-shadowed hills, he discovers an ancient power and a mysterious riddle, whose answer may well change the fate of the Six Duchies forever....

    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"!!
