‘Fantasy as it ought to be written’ George R.R. Martin

The second volume in Robin Hobb’s internationally bestselling Farseer Trilogy.

Honesty is the bedrock for any relationship. But how can Fitz – royal bastard, trainee assassin, holder of secrets crucial to the security of the kingdom – bare his soul to his beloved Molly?

Danger lies all around him – from the raiders savaging the coastal towns, and from within the court. The king has been struck down by a mystery illness and his eldest son, Verity, is bound up in the defence of the realm.

When Verity leaves the court in search of the mythical Elderlings, Fitz finds himself friendless apart from his wolf, Nighteyes, and the king’s strange, motley-clad fool, exposed to Prince Regal’s malign ambitions. He will be asked to sacrifice everything – his heart, his hope, even his life – for the sake of the realm.

I've been in love with the Farseers for over 20 years now and finally there is a narrator who does an amazing job at bringing Fitz and all the other characters you just have to love (or hate) to life. I never imagined that anyone could do it that well.

If you do not know the Farseers, do not miss out on it, you'd regret it.

If you do know the book, you will probably love this narrator.

Best fantasy books (ever!) - wonderful narrator!

Alles toll, die Geschichte, der Sprecher - aber warum wurde bei der Produktion nicht darauf geachtet, die Lautstärke in den Dialogen auszugleichen? Es nervt, wie Verity oder Chade einen anbrüllen. Habe bei keinem anderen Hörbuch so oft leiser und lauter stellen müssen. Nervig.

Top, aber die Lautstärkenwechsel nerven enorm.
