The final book of the epic Farseer Trilogy, now in trade paperback for the first time, and with glorious new covers!
"An exceptional combination of originality, magic, adventure, character, and drama."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
FitzChivalry Farseer and the Fool are back again in the final book of this beloved saga, full of adventure, magic, and sinister plots.
As Assassin's Quest begins, 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, Fitz 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. 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.
