About this listen

‘Fantasy as it ought to be written’ George R.R. Martin

The gripping finale to Robin Hobb’s classic Farseer Trilogy.

With the king no longer living and the heir, Verity, missing and declared dead, Prince Regal has treacherously seized the throne.

Regal’s torture has left Fitz more dead than alive, and more closely than ever bonded with his wolf. All who once loved him believe him dead: even Molly, now pregnant with his child. But he cannot go to her without placing her in terrible danger.

With nothing to lose, Fitz sets out for Tradeford, where Regal has withdrawn, having heartlessly abandoned the north of the kingdom to the Red-Ship Raiders. His quest: to assassinate the man who has destroyed his world.

Critic Reviews

'What makes her novels addictive is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics'
The Times

Absolutely loved this book and the series. I enjoyed the narrator so much that I got excited to start the next series, only to be really disappointed when I realised it had a different narrator. I didn’t even make it through the first chapter.

Joe Eyre does such a great job with the characters. Fitz feels introspective and thoughtful, Nighteyes sounds brilliant, and he does a masterful job making the Fool sound convincingly androgynous.

All in all, I loved it. I really hope he ends up narrating the entire series—I won’t be able to listen to the others until he does.

Loved it

Just so freaking good. My new favourite trilogy rivals any fantasy trilogy ever. Must read or listen

The whole book is perfectly paced and never looses its grip on you.
