From an extraordinary new voice in fantasy comes the
stunning conclusion to the Farseer trilogy, as FitzChivalry
confronts his destiny as the catalyst who holds the fate of
the kingdom of the Six Duchies...and the world
itself.
King Shrewd is dead at the hands of his son
Regal. As is Fitz--or so his enemies and friends believe.
But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he
emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul. 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. Only
Verity's return--or the heir his princess carries--can save
the Six Duchies.
But Fitz will not wait. Driven by
loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill
Regal. 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....
