R. Martin \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003ewhat\u003c\/i\u003e part remains uncertain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR ROBIN HOBB\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFool's Assassin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Hobb knows the complicated workings of the wayward human heart, and she takes time to depict them in her tale, to tell her story sweetly, insistently, compellingly. . . .
