![]() ![]() Review: What a story! What a book! Bring on book three-I’m desperate to read on! Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb is book two of the Farseer Trilogy, which focuses on FitzChivalry, bastard son to Chivalry, who abdicated and died long ago. My copy came from: I purchased the Kindle version from Amazon Setting A fictional olden-time setting, in a fictional world (think castles, swords, ladies, and magic) In this time of great danger, the fate of the kingdom may rest in Fitz’s hands-and his role in its salvation may require the ultimate sacrifice. The kingdom is also under assault from within, as treachery threatens the throne of the ailing king. Renewing their vicious attacks on the coast, the Red-Ship Raiders leave burned-out villages and demented victims in their wake. But love and events of terrible urgency draw him back to the court at Buckkeep, and into the deadly intrigues of the royal family. Battered and bitter, he vows to abandon his oath to King Shrewd, remaining in the distant mountains. Official Synopsis from Goodreads: Fitz has survived his first hazardous mission as king’s assassin, but is left little more than a cripple. ![]()
