The the third book in FitzChivalry Farseer's final trilogy by an author who “is acknowledged—not least by her colleague, George R.R. Martin—as one of the pre-eminent writers of modern fantasy fiction." (Sunday Telegraph, UK)
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 dream of possible futures and use their prophecies to gain wealth and influence. As Bee is dragged by her captors across half the world, Fitz and the Fool, believing her dead, embark on a mission of revenge to the distant island where the Servants reside.
Once it was the Fool's home and later his prison—a hell he escaped, swearing never to return. Until now. And though Fitz is no longer the peerless assassin of his youth, he remains dangerous and deadly—and adept in Farseer magic. Together their goal is simple: to ensure not a single Servant survives their scourge.
