About this ebook

Robin Hobb’s most popular hero, assassin and “beast magic” master FitzChivalry Farseer, returns in this stunning trilogy—an epic of sacrifice, salvation, and untold treachery. For the first time, this convenient eBook bundle brings together all three of the Tawny Man novels:
 
FOOL’S ERRAND
GOLDEN FOOL
FOOL’S FATE
 
For fifteen years Fitz has lived in self-imposed exile, assumed to be dead by almost all who once cared about him. But now, into his isolated life, visitors begin to arrive: Fitz’s mentor from his assassin days; a hedge-witch who foresees the return of a long-lost love; and the Fool, the former White Prophet, who beckons Fitz to fulfill his destiny.
 
Then comes the summons he cannot ignore. Prince Dutiful, the young heir to the Farseer throne, has vanished. Fitz, possessed of magical skills both royal and profane, is the only one who can retrieve him in time for his betrothal ceremony, thus sparing the Six Duchies profound political embarrassment . . . or worse. But even Fitz does not suspect the web of treachery that awaits him—or how his loyalties will be tested to the breaking point.

Ratings and reviews

Yet another steady paced, extremely well written set from Hobbs; the characters and relationships all so wonderfully fleshed out, fallible and ever evolving, and the storylines moving forward and unfolding as evenly and naturally as rivers.

Hobb is a solid character writer with knack for weaving her tales around deep interpersonal bonds. Her world building is rich with lore and mystery which is revealed in such a way as to keep you wanting the next helping. Action adventure this is not. But a unique magic system combined with constant intrigue and the intricate foibles of her characters make Hobb's books a must read for the novel approach she lends to modern fantasy. Enjoyed thoroughly!

Just as wonderful as the first Farseer Trilogy. I have just reread both trilogies for the second time. To reacquaint and prepare me for The Fitz and Fool Trilogy, which I am now starting. I don't doubt I will be just as pleased.
