About this listen
The gripping finale to Robin Hobb’s classic Farseer trilogy.
Keystone. Gate. Crossroads. Catalyst.
Fitz is about to discover the truth about the Fool's prophecy. Having been resurrected from his fatal tortures in Regal's dungeons, Fitz has once more foiled Regal's attempts to be rid of him.
Now, back in his own body, and after months of rehabilitation, Fitz begins the painful and slow process of learning the ways of a man again. Under the watchful eye of Burrich, old King Shrewd's Stablemaster, Fitz must learn to cast off the wild but carefree ways of the wolf and enter once more the human world: a world beset ever more viciously by the relentless Red Ship Raiders who are now left free to plunder any coastal town they please. But more immediately, a world in which he finds he is utterly alone.
Regal has stripped the kingdom of its riches and retired to the inland city of Tradeford. Of Verity, on his quest to find the legendary Elderings, there has been no word; Molly, Kettricken and the Fool have all vanished.
Unless Fitz can find Verity and help him in his quest, the Six Duchies will perish and there will be no safe place to live.

'Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers … what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics.'
The Times
‘In today’s crowded fantasy market Robin Hobb’s books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons’
George R.R. Martin

brilliant!
best series I have ever read with the exception of the soldier son series. the narrator was hard to get used to at first because of his plummy accent but his skill with voices lent a lot to the telling. loved it

Truly immersing
the farseer trilogy is by far my favourite book series to date. Robin Hobb has such imaginative depth to her writing. her characters are so diverse and multifaceted. I truly believe she held nothing back from this dragon she created.

Paul Boehmer is the best narrator!
Robin Hobb is the best fantasy author, and Paul Boehmer brings her books alive with fine reading that is the perfect balance of dramatic voices without pulling attention away from the drama of the text itself. Brilliant stuff. From Adam Wood in Sydney.

He finally pronounces "Valet" correctly.
He finally pronounces "Valet" correctly. 5/5.
Not a bad yarn either to be honest.
Apparently I need more words so I wrote this sentence.
