Więcej o książce

Ranking alongside George R.R. Martin as a master of fantasy, New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb presents the second installment in her Fitz and the Fool trilogy. The harrowing adventures of FitzChivalry Farseer and his enigmatic friend the Fool continue in this compelling sequel to Fool's Assassin. Hobb expertly builds upon previous narratives, unveiling devastating secrets and conspiracies that cast a dark shadow over Fitz's world and future hope. Long ago, Fitz and the Fool changed the world, restoring dragon magic and securing the Farseer succession. However, the Fool now lies near death, harmed by mysterious figures whose plans for domination involve Fitz's daughter. Distracted by the Fool's perilous condition and caught in royal court intrigues, Fitz lowers his guard, leading to a catastrophic moment when his daughter is stolen by those who would use her as a weapon. Yet FitzChivalry Farseer possesses his own weapons; an ancient magic flows through him, and though his skills as an assassin have waned, they are not easily forgotten. Now, both enemies and allies will discover that a man with nothing left to lose is the most dangerous of all. Hobb's storytelling is richly emotional, inviting readers to inhabit her world rather than merely rush through it.
