The much-anticipated final conclusion to the Fitz and The Fool trilogy. Prince FitzChivalry Farseer's daughter Bee was violently abducted from Withywoods by Servants of the Four in their search for the Unexpected Son, foretold to wield great power. With Fitz in pursuit, the Servants fled through a Skill-pillar, leaving no trace. It seems certain that they and their young hostage have perished in the Skill-river. Clerres, where White Prophets were trained by the Servants to set the world on a better path, has been corrupted by greed. Fitz is determined to reach the city and take vengeance on the Four, not only for the loss of Bee but also for their torture of the Fool. Accompanied by FitzVigilant, son of the assassin Chade, Chade's protégé Spark and the stableboy Perseverance, Bee's only friend, their journey will take them from the Elderling city of Kelsingra, down the perilous Rain Wild River, and on to the Pirate Isles. Their mission for revenge will become a voyage of discovery, as well as of reunions, transformations and heartrending shocks. Startling answers to old mysteries are revealed. What became of the liveships Paragon and Vivacia and their crews? What is the origin of the Others and their eerie beach? How are liveships and dragons connected? But Fitz and his followers are not the only ones with a deadly grudge against the Four. An ancient wrong will bring them unlikely and dangerous allies in their quest. And if the corrupt society of Clerres is to be brought down, Fitz and the Fool will have to make a series of profound and fateful sacrifices. ASSASSIN'S FATE is a magnificent tour de force and with it Robin Hobb demonstrates yet again that she is the reigning queen of epic fantasy.

      Starred review from April 10, 2017
      In the lusciously complex third Fitz and the Fool epic fantasy (after Fool’s Quest), themes and threads from the related Six Duchies series pull together in a dazzling finale that caps 20 years of writing and more than 15 books. FitzChivalry Farseer, a reluctant assassin who has done the dirty work for the Farseer monarchy under King Verity all his life, is once again pursuing those who have harmed his family. He believes that his precious daughter, Bee, has been forever lost in a Skill-pillar after being kidnapped by the Servants of the Four. With his usual cronies—the Fool, Lant, Perseverance, and Spark—doggedly attending, Fitz tracks the path Bee would have taken to the isle of Clerres. What Fitz doesn’t know is that Bee survived her trip through the Skill-pillar only to be cruelly mistreated—violence that forges her into a weapon against her captors. Hobb’s exquisitely drawn characters, fast-paced plotting, and enthralling prose beguile readers through a blockbuster of an ending for this trilogy and for the overarching series.
