About this ebook

The final volume in Robin Hobb's popular Rain Wilds fantasy series, Blood of Dragons completes the story of the dragons, their keepers, and their quest to find the lost city of Kelsingra—and the mythical silver wells that the dragons need to survive.

Can Tintaglia and the Elderlings unlock the secrets of the ancient city? Or are they doomed to extinction?

The world of Robin Hobb’s Rain Wilds series has been praised by Booklist as "one of the most gripping settings in modern fantasy," and Publishers Weekly called the Rain Wilds books "a meticulously realized fantasy tale" and "a welcome addition to contemporary dragon lore."

Ratings and reviews

This final book was outstanding while there was still too much un needed homosexuality included Ms. Hobb did apparently listen to the comments on previous books in the series as she toned it down a bit. As usual the series ends with you wanting more. I hope to see the Kelsingra Trilogy in the future. Maybe a meeting of the Farseer books as it appears the Jester was a different sort of Elderling perhaps there are other unfound unknown clutches of dragons with a different set of Elderlings to be found...

Not a bad read at all. Well developed charactors, excellent decriptions and truly put me in the midst of their lives. Ms. Hobb has a tendency to recount the same instances many times and not just in the next book. I found myself skipping paragraphs of drama I had already encountered so that the story could move along. However all in all I enjoyed the story and hope that someday a fifth book will be released so i can continue to follow the lives of this new generation.

Awesome! A congratulatulatory clap to Ms. Hobb for showing the hypocrites who don't complain about sex scenes unless they are homosexual. It's 2017 Grow Up people! Please keep breaking closed minded barriers Ms Hobb!!
