“An enthralling conclusion to this superb trilogy, displaying an exceptional combination of originality, magic, adventure, character, and drama.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
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.
Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin’s Quest
“Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.”—George R. R. Martin
“Superbly written, wholly satisfying, unforgettable: better than any fantasy trilogy in print—including mine!”—Melanie Rawn
Yes it is worth it
"The first book was great and the second book even better and though the third is a bit too wordy at times and also feels slow at times it brings an ultimately nice conclusion to this trilogy. Fitz is one of my favorite protagonists in fantasy and I hear people complain about his character but personally I think it's in character for him to be the way he is. He is young and it makes sense for him to act like it and Robin Hobb did an excellent job with his character and really every character in the trilogy. If you want people to feel real this series is excellent and excels in understanding people. I think you should buy Assassin's Quest."
