About the Book
The thrilling conclusion to the master fantasist's epic Soldier Son Trilogy--an extraordinary adventure of love and intrigue, privilege, and magic.Book Synopsis
Loyal, privileged, and brave--a soldier in the service of the King of Gernia--Nevare Burvelle survived a devastating plague of enemy sorcery, but at a terrible cost to his soul, body, and heart. Now he stands wrongly accused of unspeakable crimes, including murder, the most heinous of them all. Suddenly an outcast and a fugitive, he remains a hostage to the Speck magic that shackles him to a savage alter ego who would destroy everything Nevare holds dear. Perhaps, however, this curse that has long abused him can be used by him instead--a mighty weapon he can learn to wield for his own purposes. But down what perilous road will this desperate new quest lead him? And what will be the ultimate incarnation of Nevare Burvelle?
Review Quotes
"[A] master fantasist." -- Kansas City Star
"Robin Hobb is one of our very best fantasy writers. Her novels are always fresh, entertaining, and completely engrossing." -- Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Sandworms of Dune
"Hobb is probably one of the best writers of the fantasy genre currently operating. With Robin Hobb you do not get the standard good versus evil story in which every character is one or the other. Instead her characters are believable, human and flawed." -- Birmingham Post
