'Fantasy as it ought to be written' George R.R. Martin

Robin Hobb returns to her most beloved characters with the second volume of a brand new series.

Years ago, they freed a dragon from the glaciers of Aslevjal. Then, they parted ways, with the Fool returning to far-off Clerres and Fitz finally claiming a wife, a family, and a home.

Now, betrayed and wounded, the Fool has returned to the Six Duchies. But as Fitz tries to heal his old friend at Buckkeep Castle, his young daughter Bee is kidnapped by secretive bandits who leave destruction and confusion in their wake.

Fitz must save his beloved Bee. At the same time, the Fool is determined to persuade Fitz to travel with him to Clerres for revenge. Fitz must sternly reacquaint himself with the tools of the assassin, but will he also be forced to choose between saving his child and avenging his dearest friend?
