Description
A richly illustrated anniversary edition from the beloved Farseer Trilogy, hailed by George R.R. Martin as ‘fantasy as it ought to be written’, and by Lin-Manuel Miranda as ‘an incredible series’.
Royal Assassin follows FitzChivalry Farseer and the Fool in book two of the beloved saga, filled with adventure, magic, and sinister plots. A quarter-century after the original publication of the Farseer Trilogy, these special editions present Robin Hobb’s modern classics as never before: in gorgeous hardcover editions, with ten beautiful full-colour illustrations by Magali Villeneuve.
As Royal Assassin begins, Fitz has survived his first hazardous mission as the king’s assassin, but is left little more than a cripple. Battered and bitter, he vows to abandon his oath to King Shrewd and to remain in the distant mountains. However, love and events of terrible urgency draw him back to the court at Buckkeep, and into the deadly intrigues of the royal family.
The Red-Ship Raiders renew their vicious attacks on the coast, leaving burned-out villages and demented victims in their wake. The kingdom is also under assault from within, as treachery threatens the throne of the ailing king. 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.

About the Author
Robin Hobb is one of the world's finest writers of epic fiction.She was born in California in 1952 but raised in Alaska, where she learned how to raise a wolf cub, to skin a moose and to survive in the wilderness. When she married a fisherman who fished herring and the Kodiak salmon-run for half the year, these skills would stand her in good stead. She raised her family, ran a smallholding, delivered post to her remote community, all at the same time as writing stories and novels. She succeeded on all fronts, raising four children and becoming an internationally best-selling writer. She lives in Tacoma, Washington State.
