For years, the Trader cities valiantly battled their enemies, the Chalcedeans. But they could not have staved off invasion without the powerful dragon, Tintaglia. In return, the Traders promised to help her serpents migrate up the Rain Wild River after a long exile at sea - to find a safe haven and, Tintaglia hopes, to restore her species. But too much time has passed, and the newly hatched dragons are damaged and weak, and many die.

A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn’t dead—yet.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Their uncle, the King, has produced no male children. Bypassing himself, Arutha names Borric, the eldest twin by seconds, the Royal Heir. As his brother, Erland will have his own great responsibilities to shoulder.

He was Tiger, born of the desert winds, raised as a slave and winning his freedom by weaving a special kind of magic with a warrior's skill. Now he was an almost legendary sword-dancer, ready to take on any challenge - if the price was right…or if the woman pretty enough. She was Del, born of ice and storm, trained by the greatest of Northern sword masters. Now, her ritual training completed and steeped in the special magic of her own rune sword, she had come South in search of the young brother stolen five years before.
Auteur(s): Jennifer Roberson
Description
Nearly 20 years ago, Robin Hobb burst upon the fantasy scene with the first of her acclaimed Farseer novels, Assassin’s Apprentice, which introduced the characters of FitzChivalry Farseer and his uncanny friend the Fool. A watershed moment in modern fantasy, this novel - and those that followed - broke exciting new ground in a beloved genre. Together with George R. R. Martin, Robin Hobb helped pave the way for such talented new voices as Scott Lynch, Brandon Sanderson, and Naomi Novik.
Over the years, Hobb’s imagination has soared throughout the mythic lands of the Six Duchies in such best-selling series as the Liveship Traders Trilogy and the Rain Wilds Chronicles. But no matter how far she roamed, her heart always remained with Fitz. And now, at last, she has come home, with an astonishing new novel that opens a dark and gripping chapter in the Farseer saga.
FitzChivalry - royal bastard and former king’s assassin - has left his life of intrigue behind. As far as the rest of the world knows, FitzChivalry Farseer is dead and buried. Masquerading as Tom Badgerlock, Fitz is now married to his childhood sweetheart, Molly, and leading the quiet life of a country squire.
Though Fitz is haunted by the disappearance of the Fool, who did so much to shape Fitz into the man he has become, such private hurts are put aside in the business of daily life, at least until the appearance of menacing, pale-skinned strangers casts a sinister shadow over Fitz’s past...and his future.
Now, to protect his new life, the former assassin must once again take up his old one....

My favorite by far
Of the whole series, to me, this book is the best so far, and by an important margin. The characters are interesting and believable, the rythm of the story makes it hard to put the book down, the storyline is original and surprising. So much action! And I also really liked the narrater.

A Darker turn for one of my fav series
I have followed Fits Chivalry Farseer right from book One of his adventures and this segment of his journey definitely takes a darker turn then the other books. As always Robin's writing and story is captivating, engaging and very well written, However the narrative on this trilogy is my least favourite with the use of weird loud whispering as the voice of some of the characters, but this does not entirely impede the listeners ability to follow the story.

please choose better narrators
The story is so hard to find interesting when half the voices are whispered or breathy and even on full volume you can barely hear them. Alot slower paced than the rest of the books from realm of the elderlings but still a great addition to the world and worth the listen.

Addictive story with unique protagonist
Through the first six FitzChivalry Farseer books, I struggled to characterize what exactly bothered me about Fitz. Why does he make so many poor decisions? Why does he seem inept at deductive reasoning and utterly bereft of inductive reasoning? Why does he ignore the information and opinions of his most trusted companions?
Is he arrogant? Self-centered? Self-indulgent? Emotionally stunted? Distracted and simply not noticing? The latter can be ruled out, because he remembers such detail years later to recount them for us. The others, while true, don't explain it either, as in his recounting he gives little hint of either shame or chagrine, as if he realized what he was telling us.
He's stupid. He's the least intelligent protagonist in any major fantasy series. Robin Hobb has expertly written a dolt - a less generous analysis might blame clumsy or even poor writing, overshooting the mark with unlikely obtuseness as a plot device to create and drive conflict, but I don't think that's it.
FitzChivalry Farseer is actually a moron, and it doesn't really detract from the story. I'm on his 7th book and I'm steaming ahead to the end.. I just had to accept that his mother's father dropped him on the head long ago, on his way to leave him at the outpost.

the narrator struggles to keep up with James Langton. I have a hard time immersing into the story while an English noble from the 1700s reads a book intensely. with little expression.

An awful follow up performance for a previously great series
This is my first review, I couldn't ignore how much I dislike the new narrator. Everything about it is poorly done;
Pronouncing character's names differently than every book that came before
Poorly read sentences that flow so badly that you can't get into the story. Your brain is so busy reconstructing what you heard that you lose focus on any sense of immersion in the story.
Entirely different accents for characters
E v e r y s e n t e n c e i s s o d r a w n o u t a n d s l o w t h a t y o u h a v e t o l I s t e n a t 1.2x speed just for it to be remotely alright.
Bee's voice is awful
It's all wrong, everything about it.
As far as storyline goes, this may be biased from the terrible narration, but the book has very little for interesting content compared to all of the previous books. It's mostly about Fitz spending a decade at home making bad domestic decisions and being mired in regret.
I really loved the previous 6+ books, Fitz has been a great character to follow around, I will likely ask for a refund on this book because I'd like to regain some part of the time I've lost slogging through the whole thing. I won't buy the next one because the sample plays just as badly or worse than this one, but I'll give it a read just to see how things go for Fitz-Chivalry.
All of the previous books are great, so go enjoy those at least!
I can't fathom how this made it through to release as an audiobook, it's a shame. Was it so much cheaper for this narrator that it was worth ruining Robin Hobb's book?!
