About this listen
The triumphant conclusion to the Tawny Man trilogy, from the author of the bestselling Farseer and Liveship Traders trilogies.
The moving end to the tale of the Farseers, in which kingdoms must stand or fall on the beat of a dragon's wings, or a Fool's heart.
A small and sadly untried coterie – the old assassin Chade, the serving-boy Thick, Prince Dutiful, and his reluctant Skillmaster, Fitz – sail towards the distant island of Aslevjal. There they must fulfil the Narcheska’s challenge to her betrothed: to lay the head of the dragon Icefyre, whom legends tell is buried there deep beneath the ice, upon her hearth. Only with the completion of this quest can the marriage proceed, and the resulting alliance signal an end to war between the two kingdoms.
It is not a happy ship: tensions between the folk of the Six Duchies and their traditional enemies, the Outislanders, lie just beneath the surface. Thick is constantly ill, and his random but powerful Skilling has taken on a dark and menacing tone, while Chade’s fascination with the Skill is growing to the point of obsession.
Having ensured that his beloved friend the Fool is safely left behind in Buckkeep, Fitz is guilt-stricken; but he is determined to keep his fate at bay, since prophecy foretells the Fool’s death if he ever sets foot on the isle of the black dragon. But as their ship draws in towards Aslevjal a lone figure awaits them…

Great narrator, transmitting the right feelings in his voice.
I'm looking forward to what's next.

Beautiful Narration
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
But the audio editors left MANY instances of repeated lines often with the narrator giving a sigh of frustration before starting the line again.
The first time gave me a giggle, but it happens repeatedly throughout the book as though the editing job was rushed. By the end I felt truly annoyed. I've not had an audio book from here with so many issues like this.
I hope it will be re-edited. Robin Hobb books so rock and Nick is a fair narrator.
Terrible quality production
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I feel Fitz is a very relatable and real person, a real character as he has many faults and more often than not does things opposite of what you would like.
I hope I'll get to read more about Fitz in the future.
Wonderful trilogy - I will miss my Fitz
