'Fantasy as it ought to be written' George R.R. Martin Robin Hobb
returns to her best loved characters with the second volume in a
brand new series. Years ago, they freed a dragon from the glaciers
on Aslevjal. Then they parted, the Fool returning to far-off
Clerres, while Fitz finally claimed a wife, a family, and a home of
his own. Now, betrayed and broken, the Fool has made his way back
to the Six Duchies. But as Fitz attempts to heal his old friend in
Buckkeep Castle his young daughter Bee is abducted from Withywoods
by mysterious raiders who leave ruin and confusion in their wake.
Fitz must rescue his beloved Bee. At the same time the Fool is
determined that Fitz travel with him to Clerres to wreak vengeance.
Fitz must grimly take up his assassin's tools once more, but will
he also be forced to choose between saving his child and avenging
his dearest friend?
Assassinating the headmaster didn't go as planned. Now Everbound
University is on a strict magical lockdown, and the Immortal Quintet
has arrived to hunt down the person who killed their mage-which,
ironically, isn't me.
I'm also looking for the true culprit so I can find Kenzie.
Meanwhile, the four gorgeous, stubborn legacies that I've fought tooth
and nail to resist are starting to figure me out, little by
little...but I'm also starting to understand them.
And the more I do, the more I wonder if the gods really did match our
broken souls together perfectly.
As tensions rise and the Immortal Quintet turns up the danger for all
students, our quintet is forced to work together to survive. But
training together is a dangerous game all its own. Because the more I
get of these legacies, the more I want.
If they thought me rejecting them was brutal, they haven't seen me
fight to protect my own...
And now, that includes them.

six dangerous children reside – including the Antichrist.
At the orphanage, Linus must somehow determine if these children could
bring about the end of days. But their guardian, the charming and

his dreams . . .
