Robin Hobb\'s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons. . .
Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin\'s Quest Fantasy as it ought to be written .
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.
Driven by loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill Regal.
But Fitz will not wait.
Only Verity\'s return--or the heir his princess carries--can save the Six Duchies.
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.
But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul.
As is Fitz--or so his enemies and friends believe.
