FitzChivalry Farseer is dead—at least, that’s what the world believes. But the royal bastard and retired assassin is very much alive, living in peace as humble Tom Badgerlock, husband to Molly and father to a quiet life he never thought he’d have.
Until ghosts from the past arrive—pale-skinned strangers with deadly intent and a whisper of danger that threatens everything Fitz has fought to protect. And with the Fool gone, vanished without a trace, Fitz must decide: will he let his past finally rest, or take up his blades once more?
In Fool’s Assassin, Robin Hobb returns to her beloved hero in a richly layered tale of loss, legacy, and rekindled purpose. For fans of The Name of the Wind and A Game of Thrones, this is fantasy at its most human—and most heartbreaking.
