From an extraordinary 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.

Great narrator, who does a wonderful job at distinguishing characters for the listener.
Character growth and development through the novels is lovely and you really grow to enjoy all of them, or despise them, as the author would intend!
A must read for fantasy lovers.

Yep, time well spent. Anyone looking for a GOT/LOTR/WOT-type story, you’ve found it. This story is a rollercoaster of emotions and I’m sad but happy at the same time after finishing the trilogy. Not sure if there’s a word for that but thx RH for the story and narrator is first-class.

So awesome
