Features: A life resurrected but never whole again, a path of revenge with no choice but perseverance. At the critical moment, the duality of human nature is laid bare. As the key to the survival of the Six Kingdoms, Fitch will face his fate and the world. The conclusion of the Assassin's Apprentice series, deeply moving and brilliant. The cunning king dies at the hands of his own son, the Overlord—and so does Fitch—at least his enemies and friends firmly believe this. However, with the help of his allies and his own beast magic, Fitch is resurrected, but his body, mind, and spirit are severely wounded, and the Six Kingdoms are on the brink of collapse: after ransacking the Deer Castle, the Overlord abandons the capital and moves inland, while the rightful heir, Wei Zhen, is lost in his mad quest, his fate uncertain. Only Wei Zhen's return to Deer Castle, or the heir in the womb of his queen, can save the Six Kingdoms. But Fitch cannot wait. Haunted by memories of loss and pain, he resolves to undertake a personal, secret mission: to eliminate the Overlord. This journey plunges him into the depths of a maelstrom and his own magic, where he may either drown in the waves or achieve extraordinary greatness. The dazzling newcomer in fantasy literature, Robin Hobb, presents the brilliant conclusion to the far-reaching family trilogy, "The Assassin's Apprentice." Fitch, the steed who holds the key to the survival of the Six Kingdoms, will face his fate and the world?
