About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The stunning conclusion to Robin Hobb’s Fitz and the Fool trilogy, which began with Fool’s Assassin and Fool’s Quest
“Every new Robin Hobb novel is a cause for celebration. Along with millions of her other fans, I delight in every visit to the Six Duchies, the Rain Wilds, and the Out Islands, and can’t wait to see where she’ll take me next.”—George R. R. Martin
More than twenty years ago, the first epic fantasy novel featuring FitzChivalry Farseer and his mysterious, often maddening friend the Fool struck like a bolt of brilliant lightning. Now New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb brings to a momentous close the third trilogy featuring these beloved characters in a novel of unsurpassed artistry that is sure to endure as one of the great masterworks of the genre.
Fitz’s young daughter, Bee, has been kidnapped by the Servants, a secret society whose members not only dream of possible futures but use their prophecies to add to their wealth and influence. Bee plays a crucial part in these dreams—but just what part remains uncertain.
As Bee is dragged by her sadistic captors across half the world, Fitz and the Fool, believing her dead, embark on a mission of revenge that will take them to the distant island where the Servants reside—a place the Fool once called home and later called prison. It was a hell the Fool escaped, maimed and blinded, swearing never to return.
For all his injuries, however, the Fool is not as helpless as he seems. He is a dreamer too, able to shape the future. And though Fitz is no longer the peerless assassin of his youth, he remains a man to be reckoned with—deadly with blades and poison, and adept in Farseer magic. And their goal is simple: to make sure not a single Servant survives their scourge.

Great finish to an epic tale. Although it was necessary to the plot, I didn't appreciate the rather thin roles the Liveship Traders characters played in the overall story. Even so, Robin Hobb expertly portrayed them as victims dragged under by a sprawling dragon-drama. All the other storylines and characters essential to the Fitz-Fool trilogy got great treatment. Hobb is a master of her craft and does not disappoint with this ending. One of the most unfortunate things that can happen when a writer of this caliber tries to finish their epic tale is that it falls flat on its face, leaving many core plot threads dangling or hastily concluded. That does not happen here. Assassin's Fate is true to its foreboding title and conclusively unravels the fates of Fitzchivarly, the Fool, and Bee.

This was a perfect conclusion to all of Robins work. I loved every minute of it. It closed all the holes from prior series. I may go back and reread in the correct order This time. Warning to all. If you haven't read the raid wild traders novels or the mad ship trilogy you should do so prior to the last of fitz' series.

I have read all of Farseer books and the rainwild books and I loved them all. This was a fitting end to a great hero story. I'm not going to lie, my emotions were all over the place and was hooked. Buy and read it you will love it I promise.
