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.
