The stirring conclusion to The Soldier Son Trilogy--the
acclaimed epic tale of duty, destiny, and magic by New
York Times bestselling master fantasist Robin Hobb
Loyal, privileged, and brave, Nevare Burvelle proudly
embraced his preordained role as soldier in the service of
the King of Gernia--unaware of the strange turns his life
would ultimately take. Exposed to a plague of enemy sorcery
that felled many of his compatriots, he prevailed, but at a
terrible cost to his soul, body, and heart. Now he stands
wrongly accused of unspeakable crimes--including murder, the
most heinous of them all.
Condemned by his brother
soldiers and sentenced to death, Nevare has no option but to
escape. Suddenly he is an outcast and a fugitive--a hostage
to the Speck magic that shackles him to a savage alter ego
who would destroy everything Nevare holds dear. With nowhere
to turn--except, perhaps, to the Speck woman Lisana, the
enemy whom he loves--he is mired in soul-rending despair.
But from out of the darkness comes a bright spark of hope.
Perhaps, somehow, the hated magic that has long
abused Nevare can be used by him instead. Could he
not learn to wield this mighty weapon for his own purposes
rather than be enslaved by it? But down what perilous road
will this desperate new quest lead him? And what will be the
outcome and the ultimate new incarnation of Nevare Burvelle?
