"Fantasy as it ought to be written." — George R.R. Martin
So begins one of the most beloved epic fantasy series of all time — the book that introduced a generation of readers to FitzChivalry Farseer.
Fitz is the illegitimate son of a prince: a royal bastard whose very existence unsettles the throne of the Six Duchies. Cast off and raised in the stables of Buckkeep Castle, he is quietly claimed by the crown and apprenticed, in secret, to the royal assassin. By day he learns the courtly arts; by night he is schooled in poisons, stealth, and the dangerous politics of a kingdom under threat. Fitz also carries two kinds of magic — the Wit, an old and distrusted bond with animals, and the Skill, the hereditary power of the Farseer line.
As the Six Duchies reel under the terror of the Red Ship Raiders, Fitz is drawn ever deeper into court intrigue, loyalty and betrayal, where a single misstep could cost him far more than his life.
Lyrical, intimate and utterly immersive, Assassin's Apprentice is the first book in Robin Hobb's legendary Farseer Trilogy and the ideal entry point into her sprawling Realm of the Elderlings. Essential reading for fans of character-driven epic fantasy in the vein of George R.R. Martin, Ursula K. Le Guin and Patrick Rothfuss.
