The first volume in Robin Hobb’s internationally bestselling Farseer series. In a faraway land where members of the royal family are named for the virtues they embody, one young boy will become a walking enigma. Born on the wrong side of the sheets, Fitz, son of Chivalry Farseer, is a royal bastard cast out into the world, friendless and lonely. Only his magical link with animals – the old art known as the Wit – gives him solace and companionship. But the Wit, if used too often, is a perilous magic, and one abhorred by the nobility. So when Fitz is finally adopted into the royal household, he must give up his old ways and embrace a new life of weaponry, scribing, courtly manners; and how to kill a man secretly, as he trains to become a royal assassin.

Royal Assassin

The second volume in this superb trilogy from the author of The Farseer trilogy continues the dramatic tale of piracy, serpents, love and magic. Althea Vestrit has found a new home aboard the liveship Ophelia, but lives only to reclaim the Vivacia as her rightful inheritance. However, Vivacia has been captured by the pirate, ‘King’ Kennit, and is acquiring a keen bloodlust. Bingtown becomes embroiled in a violent political upheaval against the corrupt Jamaillian leader, while the fading fortunes of the Vestrit family lead Malta deeper into the magical secrets of the mysterious Rain Wilds Traders. Beyond Bingtown, enigmatic wood-carver Amber dreams of re-launching the Paragon, The Mad Ship, despite the history of death and despair that surrounds him. Secrets will be revealed – secrets forgotten by sea serpents, hidden by the disfigured Wild Rain Traders, buried deep in wizardwood coffins – secrets with startling, dramatic consequences.

The Liveship Traders

The Mad Ship

From the author of the classic Farseer trilogy, Ship of Magic is the first part of the Liveship Traders. Set in a land bordering the Six Duchies, Robin Hobb begins her epic of pirates, talking ships, magic, sea serpents, slave revolts, dashing heroes and bloody battles. Wizardwood, a sentient wood. The most precious commodity in the world. Like many legendary wares, it comes only from the Rain River Wilds. But how can one trade with the Rain Wilders, when only a liveship, fashioned from wizardwood, can negotiate the perilous waters of the Rain River? Rare and valuable, a liveship will quicken only when three members, from successive generations, have died on board. The liveship Vivacia is about to undergo her quickening, as Althea Vestrit’s father is carried on deck in his death-throes. Althea waits for the ship that she loves more than anything else in the world to awaken. Only to discover that the Vivacia has been signed away in her father’s will to her brutal brother-in-law, Kyle Haven. . . Others plot to win, or steal, a liveship. The Paragon, known by many as the Pariah, went mad, turned turtle and drowned his crew. Now he lies, blind, lonely and broken on a deserted beach. But greedy men have designs to restore him, to sail the waters of the Rain Wild River once more.

Ship of Magic

The triumphant conclusion to the magnificent Liveship Traders series. The dragon, Tintaglia, has been released from her wizardwood coffin, only to find that the glories of her kingdom have passed into ancient memory. Meanwhile, Malta Vestrit navigates the acid flow of the Rain Wild River in a decomposing boat, accompanied by the Satrap Cosgo and his Companion Kekki. Against hope, a ship appears in the alien waters, but does it mean rescue, or a further nightmare, for Malta? In ruined Bingtown, the citizens are at war, against the Chalcedean mercenaries besieging the harbour, and also among themselves. If the city is to survive, Ronica Vestrit must unite all its peoples – both Trader and Tattooed – and liberate the city once and for all; but Companion Serilla has a different agenda, and is seeking to establish her own power base. Althea and Brashen are finally at sea together, sailing the liveship Paragon into pirate waters in a last-ditch effort to rescue the Vestrit family liveship, Vivacia, stolen by the Pirate king, Kennit; but there is mutiny brewing in their rag-tag crew; and in the mind of the mad ship itself… Wintrow has liberated She Who Remembers and she can at last fulfil her ancient purpose, but in doing so he has been terribly injured. If Wintrow dies, Kennit fears that Vivacia will lose her fragile sanity: a loss that will also threaten his dreams of power and glory. So he strikes a deal with the ship. And soon the waters around the Vivacia are seething with giant serpents, following the liveship as it sails to its destiny. Majestic and sweeping, Ship of Destiny concludes the tale of the Vestrit family and their part in the history of The Liveship Traders with a soaring and triumphant finale to this unique series of epic fantasy.

Return to the world of the Farseers… Robin Hobb’s best loved characters, Fitz , The Fool and Nighteyes the wolf, face new adventures and trials in the first book of The Tawny Man trilogy. When Assassin’s Quest closed, Fitz was living in self-imposed exile. Wracked with pain, he had chosen to discard the magical gifts that had seen him survive the wonders and torments of navigating the legendary city of the Elderlings, and of raising a dragon. Now, in this the first of a new trilogy, we are returned to the world of the Six Duchies and the lives of those who managed to survive the events of the first Assassin trilogy. Fifteen years have passed and events are about to sweep Fitz out of his quiet backwater life and into the main political current again. Persecution of the Witted has become rampant throughout the Six Duchies despite Queen Kettricken’s effort to damp it. The Witted themselves have begun to strike back. So when 15 year old Prince Dutiful disappears, is it only because he is nervous about his betrothal ceremony to an Outislander princess, or has he been taken hostage by the Witted? Worse, is he perhaps another ‘Piebald Prince’, a Farseer tainted by Wit magic? As the desperate situation worsens, Kettricken has no choice but to summon Fitz to Buckkeep, for who better to track the young prince down than another gifted with the Wit, together with his bonded companion, the wolf Nighteyes?

The Tawny Man Trilogy

Fool’s Errand

The gripping finale to Robin Hobb’s classic Farseer trilogy. Keystone. Gate. Crossroads. Catalyst. Fitz is about to discover the truth about the Fool's prophecy. Having been resurrected from his fatal tortures in Regal's dungeons, Fitz has once more foiled Regal's attempts to be rid of him. Now, back in his own body, and after months of rehabilitation, Fitz begins the painful and slow process of learning the ways of a man again. Under the watchful eye of Burrich, old King Shrewd's Stablemaster, Fitz must learn to cast off the wild but carefree ways of the wolf and enter once more the human world: a world beset ever more viciously by the relentless Red Ship Raiders who are now left free to plunder any coastal town they please. But more immediately, a world in which he finds he is utterly alone. Regal has stripped the kingdom of its riches and retired to the inland city of Tradeford. Of Verity, on his quest to find the legendary Elderings, there has been no word; Molly, Kettricken and the Fool have all vanished. Unless Fitz can find Verity and help him in his quest, the Six Duchies will perish and there will be no safe place to live.

Fitz and the Fool

Fool's Assassin

Return to the world of the Liveships Traders and journey along the Rain Wild River in this standalone adventure from the author of the internationally acclaimed Farseer trilogy. Guided by the great blue dragon Tintaglia, they came from the sea: a Tangle of serpents fighting their way up the Rain Wilds River, the first to make the perilous journey to the cocooning grounds in generations. Many have died along the way. With its acid waters and impenetrable forest, it is a hard place for any to survive. People are changed by the Rain Wilds, subtly or otherwise. One such is Thymara. Born with black claws and other aberrations, she should have been exposed at birth. But her father saved her and her mother has never forgiven him. Like everyone else, Thymara is fascinated by the return of dragons: it is as if they symbolise the return of hope to their war-torn world. Leftrin, captain of the liveship Tarman, also has an interest in the hatching; as does Bingtown newlywed, Alise Finbok, who has made it her life's work to study all there is to know of dragons. But the creatures which emerge from the cocoons are a travesty of the powerful, shining dragons of old. Stunted and deformed, they cannot fly; some seem witless and bestial. Soon, they become a danger and a burden to the Rain Wilders: something must be done. The dragons claim an ancestral memory of a fabled Elderling city far upriver: perhaps there the dragons will find their true home. But Kelsingra appears on no maps and they cannot get there on their own: a band of dragon keepers, hunters and chroniclers must attend them. To be a dragon keeper is a dangerous job: their charges are vicious and unpredictable, and there are many unknown perils on the journey to a city which may not even exist…

Der Freibeuter, Teil 2 - Das Geheimnis der Seelenschiffe, Band 4 (ungekürzt)

The first book in the Soldier Son trilogy, from the author of the Farseer, Liveship Traders and Tawny Man trilogies. Young Nevare Burvelle is the second son of a second son. Traditionally in Gernia, the firstborn son is heir to the family fortunes, the second son bears a sword and the third son is consecrated to the priesthood. Nevare will follow his father – newly made a lord by the King – into the cavalry; to the frontier and thence to an advantageous marriage, to carry on the Burvelle name. It is a golden future, and Nevare looks forward to it with relish. For twenty years King Troven's cavalry have pushed the frontiers of Gernia out across the grasslands, subduing the fierce tribes of the plain on its way. Now they have driven the frontier as far as the Barrier Mountains, home to the enigmatic Speck people. The Specks – a dapple-skinned, forest-dwelling folk – retain the last vestiges of magic in a world which is becoming progressive and technologised. The 'civilised' peoples base their beliefs on a rational philosophy founded on scientific principle and a belief in the good god, who displaced the older deities of their world. To them, the Specks are primeval savages, little better than beasts. Superstitions abound; it is said that they harbour strange diseases and worship trees. Sexual congress with them is regarded as both filthy and foolhardy: the Speck plague which has ravaged the frontier has decimated entire regiments. All these beliefs will touch Nevare's training at the Academy; but his progress there is not as simple as he would wish. He will experience prejudice from the old aristocracy: as the son of a 'new noble' he is segregated into a patrol comprising other new nobles' sons, all of whom will encounter injustice, discrimination and foul play in that hostile and deeply competitive environment. In addition, his world view will be challenged by his unconventional girl-cousin Epiny; and by the bizarre dreams which visit him at night. And then, on Dark Evening, the circus comes to Old Thares, bringing with it the first Specks Nevare has ever seen…

Now he’s back, and something must be done…

Das Erbe der Weitseher

Diener der alten Macht

New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb returns to world of the Rain Wilds—called “one of the most gripping settings in modern fantasy” (Booklist)—in City of Dragons. Continuing the enthralling journey she began in her acclaimed Dragon Keeper and Dragon Haven, Hobb rejoins a small group of weak, half-formed and unwanted dragons and their displaced human companions as they search for a legendary sanctuary. Now, as the misfit band approaches its final destination, dragons and keepers alike face a challenge so insurmountable that it threatens to render their long, difficult odyssey utterly meaningless. Touching, powerful, and dazzlingly inventive, Hobb’s City of Dragons is not to be missed—further proof that this author belongs alongside Raymond E. Feist, Terry Brooks, and Lois McMaster Bujold in the pantheon of fantasy fiction’s true greats.

Internationally-bestselling, critically-acclaimed author Robin Hobb takes readers deep into the history behind the Farseer series in this exclusive, new novella. One of the darkest legends in the Realm of the Elderlings recounts the tale of the so-called Piebald Prince, a Witted pretender to the throne unseated by the actions of brave nobles so that the Farseer line could continue untainted. Now the truth behind the story is revealed through the account of Felicity, a low-born companion of the Princess Caution at Buckkeep. With Felicity by her side, Caution grows into a headstrong Queen-in-Waiting. But when Caution gives birth to a bastard son who shares the piebald markings of his father s horse, Felicity is the one who raises him. And as the prince comes to power, political intrigue sparks dangerous whispers about the Wit that will change the kingdom forever… In her trademark style, Hobb offers a revealing exploration of a family secret still reverberating generations later when assassin FitzChivalry Farseer comes onto the scene. Fans will not want to miss these tantalizing new insights into a much-beloved world and its unforgettable characters.

The Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince

For years, the Trader cities valiantly battled their enemies, the Chalcedeans. But they could not have staved off invasion without the powerful dragon Tintaglia. In return, the Traders promised to help her serpents migrate up the Rain Wild River after a long exile at sea—to find a safe haven and, Tintaglia hopes, to restore her species. But too much time has passed, and the newly hatched dragons are damaged and weak, and many die. The few who survive cannot use their wings; earthbound, they are powerless to hunt and vulnerable to human predators willing to kill them for the fabled healing powers of dragon flesh. But Tintaglia has vanished and the Traders are weary of the labor and expense of tending useless dragons. The Trader leadership fears that if it stops providing for the young dragons, the hungry and neglected creatures will rampage—or die along the river’s acidic muddy banks. To avert catastrophe, the dragons decree a move even farther up the treacherous river to Kelsingra, their ancient, mythical homeland whose mysterious location is locked deep within the dragons’ uncertain ancestral memories. To ensure their safe passage, the Traders recruit a disparate group of young people to care for the damaged creatures and escort them to their new home. Among them is Thymara, an unschooled forest girl of sixteen, and Alise, a wealthy Trader’s wife trapped in a loveless marriage, who attaches herself to the expedition as a dragon expert. The two women share a deep kinship with the dragons: Thymara can instinctively communicate with them, and Alise, captivated by their beauty and majesty, has devoted her life to studying them. Embarking on an arduous journey that holds no promise of return, the band of humans and dragons must make its way along the toxic and inhospitable Rain Wild River—an extraordinary odyssey that will teach them lessons about themselves and one another as they experience hardships, betrayals, and joys beyond their wildest dreams.

“A full master of the epic fantasy.” —Tulsa World One of the world’s most acclaimed fantasists, New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb returns to the world of her popular “Tawny Man” trilogy with Dragon Haven—the second book, following Dragon Keeper (“Imaginative, literate, and compassionate from first page to last” —Booklist) in an epic adventure about the resurgence of dragons in a world that both needs and fears them. Hobb, whose Soldier Son Trilogy (Shaman’s Crossing, Forest Mage, Renegade’s Magic) has won raves from critics, fans, and peers alike, returns to the Rain Wilds with Dragon Haven, and readers of Raymond Feist, Terry Brooks, and Lois McMaster Bujold will eagerly follow.

Dragon Haven

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…

Fool’s Fate

The final instalment of Robin Hobb’s Sunday Times best-selling series The Rain Wild Chronicles. Dragon blood and scales, dragon liver and eyes and teeth. All required ingredients for medicines with near-miraculous healing powers. The legendary blue dragon Tintaglia is dying of wounds inflicted by hunters sent by the Duke of Chalced, who meanwhile preserves his dwindling life by consuming the blood of the dragon’s poet Selden Vestrit. If Tintaglia perishes, her ancestral memories will die with her. And the dragons in the ancient city of Kelsingra will lose the secret knowledge they need to survive. Their keepers immerse themselves in the dangerously addictive memory-stone records of the city in the hope of recovering the Elderling magic that once allowed humans and dragons to co-exist. In doing so they risk losing their own identities, even their lives. And danger threatens from beyond the city, too. For war is coming: war between dragonkind and those who would destroy them.

Blood of Dragons

The second book in the Soldier Son trilogy, from the author of the Tawny Man trilogy, following on from the bestselling Shaman’s Crossing. The King's Cavalla Academy has been ravaged by the Speck plague. The disease has decimated the ranks of both cadets and instructors, and even the survivors remain sickly. Many have been forced to relinquish their military ambitions and return to their families to face lives of dependency and disappointment. As the Academy infirmary empties, Cadet Nevare Burvelle also prepares to journey home, to attend his brother Rosse's wedding. Far from being a broken man, Nevare is hale and hearty after his convalescence. He has defeated his nemesis, Tree Woman and freed himself of the Speck magic that infected him and attempted to turn him against his own people. A bright future awaits him as a commissioned officer betrothed to a beautiful young noblewoman. Yet his nights are still haunted by dreams of the voluptuous Tree Woman, dreams in which his Speck self betrays everything he holds dear in his waking life. Has the plague infected him in ways far more mysterious than the merely physical? Despite his fears, Nevare will journey back to Widevale in high spirits, in full expectation of a jubilant homecoming and a tender reunion with his beautiful fiancée, Carsina. But his life is about to take a shocking turn, as the magic in his blood roars to life and forces him to recognize that his most dangerous enemy, an enemy that seeks to destroy all he loves, might dwell within him.

Forest Mage

The final book in the Soldier Son series, from the author of the Tawny Man and Farseer trilogies, following on from the bestselling Shaman’s Crossing and Forest Mage. The people of Getty's town remember the death of their cemetery soldier vividly. They remember believing him guilty of unspeakable crimes, condemning him, and then watching as other men of his unit beat him until he no longer drew breath. But Nevare Burvelle didn't die that day, though everyone believes they saw it happen. He was cornered by a power far more intractable than an angry mob. When he was a boy, the magic of the Specks – the dapple-skinned tribes of the frontier forests – claimed Nevare as a saviour; severing his soul in two, naming his stolen half Soldier's Boy and shaping him into a weapon to halt the Gernian expansion into their lands and save their beloved ancestor trees. Until now Nevare has defied the magic, unable to accept his traitorous fate. But the magic has won: it has extinguished his once golden future, devastated his family and has now turned his own people against him. Faced with endangering the only loved-ones he has left, Nevare has no choice but to surrender to its will and enter the forest. But surrendering to his Speck destiny is only the beginning of his trials. Before he submits completely, Nevare makes one desperate last attempt to deter the Gernians from the Barrier Mountains without causing them harm. But the magic accepts no compromise. Exhausted, Nevare can no longer suppress his traitorous Speck self, Soldiers Boy. Losing control, he becomes a prisoner in his own body; able only to watch helplessly as his other half takes Soldier's Boy is determined to stop the Gernian expansion at all cost, and unlike Nevare, he has no love, nor sympathy for his spirit-twin's world.

Renegade’s Magic

The final volume in Robin Hobb's popular Rain Wilds fantasy series, Blood of Dragons completes the story of the dragons, their keepers, and their quest to find the lost city of Kelsingra—and the mythical silver wells that the dragons need to survive. Can Tintaglia and the Elderlings unlock the secrets of the ancient city? Or are they doomed to extinction? The world of Robin Hobb’s Rain Wilds series has been praised by Booklist as "one of the most gripping settings in modern fantasy," and Publishers Weekly called the Rain Wilds books "a meticulously realized fantasy tale" and "a welcome addition to contemporary dragon lore."

'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. Happy endings never last… Years ago, they freed a dragon from the glaciers on Aslevjal. Then they parted ways, the Fool returning to far-off Clerres, while Fitz finally claimed a wife, a family, and a home of his own. Now, betrayed by his own people and broken by torment, 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 pale and mysterious raiders who leave ruin and confusion in their wake. Fitz must find a way to rescue his beloved Bee. At the same time it is the Fool’s fiercest wish to return to Clerres with the best assassin he has ever known, to gain vengeance and justice. Can Fitz bear to take up the tools of his old trade again, even to avenge his dearest friend and save his child?

Fool’s Quest

Return to the world of the Liveships Traders and journey along the Rain Wild River in the second instalment of high adventure from the author of the internationally acclaimed Farseer trilogy. The dragon keepers and the fledgling dragons are forging a passage up the treacherous Rain Wild River. They are in search of the mythical Elderling city of Kelsingra, and are accompanied by the liveship Tarman, its captain, Leftrin, and a group of hunters who must search the forests for game with which to keep the dragons fed. With them are Alise, who has escaped her cold marriage to the cruel libertine Hest Finbok in order to continue her study of dragons, and Hest's amanuensis, Bingtown dandy, Sedric. Rivalries and romances are already threatening to disrupt the band of explorers: but external forces may prove to be even more dangerous. Chalcedean merchants are keen to lay hands on dragon blood and organs to turn them to medicines and profit. Their traitor has infiltrated the expeditionand will stop at nothing to obtain the coveted body parts. And then there are the Rain Wilds themselves: mysterious, unstable and ever perilous, its mighty river running with acid, its jungle impenetrable and its waterways uncharted. Will the expedition reach their destination unscathed? Does the city of Kelsingra even exist? Only one thing is certain: the journey will leave none of the dragons nor their human companions unchanged by the experience.

FitzUljas Näkijä, alias Tom Mäyräviiru, on elänyt viisitoista vuotta erakkona, seuranaan vain kasvattipoikansa Onni ja sutensa Yönsilmä. Hiljainen elämä häiriintyy, kun ystävät menneisyydestä ilmestyvät yllättäen hänen syrjäiseen majaansa ja vetävät hänet mukaan etsimään Peuralinnan kadonnutta prinssiä. Tehtävä osoittautuu monin verroin raskaammaksi ja mutkikkaammaksi kuin kukaan olisi osannut odottaa. FitzUljas on kuitenkin ainoa, joka voi pelastaa herttuakunnan poliittiselta sekasorrolta, apunaan hallitsemansa kaksi taikuuden lajia: arvostettu, kuninkaallinen Taito ja halveksittu, eläimellinen Vaisto. Narrin matka aloittaa Robin Hobbin Lordi Kultainen -sarjan, joka jatkaa Näkijän taru -trilogian tarinaa.

Robin Hobbin kiitetyn fantasiatrilogian Näkijän taru kiehtova avaus Salamurhaajan oppipoika on mukaansatempaava tarina sankaruudesta, pahuudesta ja kunniasta, uskomattomista kohtaloista ja suuresta seikkailusta maailmassa, jossa ihmeet ovat mahdollisia. Niin kauan kuin tiedetään, Kuutta herttuakuntaa on hallinnut Näkijöiden suku. Mutta ajat ovat muuttuneet ja taistelu vallasta käynyt yhä häikäilemättömämmäksi: barbaarien punalaivat kulkevat pitkin rannikkoa tekemässä tuhojaan, ja kuningas on voimaton.

Blut der Drachen

Ein alter Feind, ein neues Bündnis – doch niemand vertraut dem anderen. Fitz Weitseher hat Prinz Pflichtgetreu befreit und ist mit ihm nach Bocksburg zurückgekehrt. Nun steht der Heirat des Prinzen mit Prinzessin Elliania von den Roten Korsaren scheinbar nichts mehr im Weg. Doch die Anspannung im Volk der Sechs Provinzen und der Widerstand der Adligen wächst stetig, und selbst Bocksburg ist nicht mehr sicher. Widerstrebend willigt Fitz ein, den Prinzen zu beschützen und ihn in der Gabe zu unterrichten. Da trifft er auf einen Anwender dieser magischen Fähigkeit, der sie weit effektiver als er selbst einzusetzen vermag; von dem niemand wusste – und der Haus Weitseher zu Grunde richten könnte …

Prophet der sechs Provinzen

Die beste Art, seine Tochter vor Schaden zu bewahren, ist, ihr beizubringen, sich selbst zu schützen. Biene, die Tochter des ehemaligen königlichen Assassinen Fitz Weitseher, wurde entführt. Die Diener von Clerres wollen sie unbedingt unter ihre Kontrolle bringen, und dafür ist ihnen jedes Mittel Recht. Denn sie haben längst erkannt, wovor Fitz die Augen verschlossen hat: Biene ist die Erbin des Narren und damit die nächste Weiße Prophetin. Doch Biene wäre nicht Fitz Tochter, wenn sie die Entführung tatenlos über sich ergehen lassen würde. Sie plant bereits ihre Flucht …Gelesen von Matthias Lühn.

Beschützer der Drachen

Snigmorderens kald er den fantastiske afslutning på Robin Hobbs store klassiker, Farseer-trilogien, der nu endelig foreligger på dansk. I en lille afsidesliggende hytte vender den unge kongelige snigmorder Fitz langsomt tilbage til livet igen efter sit seneste opgør med prins Regal, der på svigefuld vis har tilranet sig tronen. De få venner, Fitz har, tror nu alle, at han er død, og han kan ikke kontakte dem uden at bringe deres liv i stor fare. Da Fitz således ikke har noget at miste, drager han i selskab med sin ulv af sted til Vadkøbing, hvor De Seks Hertugdømmers nye hersker har trukket sig tilbage efter at have overladt rigets kyst til Rødskibspiraterne. Fitz har et kald: Han må og skal dræbe den mand, der har lagt hele hans verden i ruiner. Pressen skriver: »I dette tredje bind når handlingen et hæsblæsende højdepunkt, der holder læseren i et jerngreb, og efter sidste side efterlader ham både forpustet og fornøjet … først og fremmest er trilogien et drabeligt mesterværk i sin egen ret.« ****** – Ekstra Bladet »Uden tvivl årets allerbedste læseoplevelse – eller måske årtiets. Sublim fantasy når det er allerbedst.« – Litteratursiden »Det er et brag af en finale.« **** – Litteraturlinjer »Det er uden tvivl den bedste serie jeg har læst, og Snigmorderens kald er en helt fantastisk afslutning på FitzChicalrys fascinerede historie.« ***** – Bech’s Books »… en helt igennem fantastisk afslutning på en helt igennem fantastisk serie!« – Bookeater

Farseer-trilogien

Snigmorderens kald

Andet bind i Robin Hobbs store fantasyklassiker, Farseer-trilogien, der nu endelig udkommer på dansk. Efter at være blevet oplært til snigmorder og have overlevet de første hårde prøvelser i Snigmorderens lærling er den unge Fitz tilbage ved hoffet i Bukkenborg. Her må han fortsætte sin ensomme kamp for at beskytte De Seks Hertugdømmer, mens kongen er sat ud af spillet af en mystisk lidelse og kampen om, hvem der skal overtage tronen efter ham, allerede raser i det skjulte. Pressen skrev om første bind, Snigmorderens lærling: »Robin Hobb doserer romanens raffinerede sortekunster helt rigtigt. Ikke for meget, ikke for overdrevet. Det er de menneskelige bevæggrunde og de uregerlige følelser bag brugen af magi, der er interessante, og Hobb holder balancen perfekt.« – Weekendavisen »Den bedste fantasyroman siden Harry Potter. Jeg kan kun give George R. R. Martin ret, ’Snigmordernes lærling’ er en sjælden diamant blandt fantasyromaner. Det er vidunderligt, at Robin Hobb er blevet oversat til dansk, og det kan kun gå for langsomt med både fortsættelsen og resten af hendes bøger. Sproget er fantastisk, og man kan næsten glemme at følge med i handlingen. Der er et væld af detaljer og finesser, og det er helt forfærdeligt at skulle vente til efteråret med at læse videre.« – Litteratursiden

Kongelig snigmorder

Snigmorderens lærling er en stor fortælling om et rige truet af stærke kræfter udefra og svækket af interne stridigheder – og om en ung dreng, der må finde sin egen plads og sit eget værd i en verden af intriger og skjulte magtkampe. En kold vinterdag bliver en seksårig dreng afleveret til kongen af De Seks Hertugdømmers folk med en besked om, at nu er det på tide, at drengens far, kronprins Chivalry, selv tager sig af ham. Drengen får hurtigt kaldenavnet Fitz og bliver sat til at hjælpe til i kongens stalde ved hoffet i Bukkenborg. En bastard kan dog udgøre en potentiel trussel for rigets sikkerhed, så derfor beslutter den gamle kong Shrewd at købe drengens troskab og tage ham under sine vinger. Fitz installeres nu i selve inderborgen, hvor han i det skjulte oplæres til kongelig snigmorder og lærer at bruge Farseer-slægtens særlige evner. Inden længe bliver han også sendt på hemmelige missioner for kongen, som har brug for Fitz i kampen mod Rødskibspiraterne, der truer riget. Hvad Fitz dog ikke ved, er, at der tæt på kongen befinder sig magtfulde kræfter, som gerne ser den unge dreng ryddet af vejen. Pressen skriver: »Robin Hobb er en mesterlig historiefortæller, og hun skriver smukt og billeddannende med alle sanser i spil.« ****** – Ekstra Bladet »Robin Hobb doserer romanens raffinerede sortekunster helt rigtigt. Ikke for meget, ikke for overdrevet. Det er de menneskelige bevæggrunde og de uregerlige følelser bag brugen af magi, der er interessante, og Hobb holder balancen perfekt.« – Weekendavisen »Hvis du ikke allerede læser fantasy, skal du unde dig selv en roman, som ikke foregår omkring den samme opvask og de samme sure sokker, som éns eget liv gør, og Hobbs roman er det perfekte sted at begynde.« **** – Femina »Den bedste fantasyroman siden Harry Potter.« – Litteratursiden »Dette er en af fantasygenrens største klassikere […]« ***** – Litteraturlinjer.dk »… en fantastisk flot fortælling. *****– Bech’s Books »… velskabt, velskrevet, engagerende og sympatisk.« **** – Borough of Books

Snigmorderens lærling

Salamurhaajan taival päättää Robin Hobbin mahtavan Näkijän taru -trilogian. Se on fantasiakirjallisuuden hienoimpia helmiä, unohtumaton tarina, jossa on klassikon ainekset. Kuuden herttuakunnan kohtalo on vaakalaudalla vanhan kuninkaan kuoltua. Kruununprinssi Totuus on kadonnut matkallaan Vuorimaille etsimään tarujen ikiaikaisia, jotka voisivat pelastaa valtakunnan punalaivojen kauheilta hyökkäyksiltä. Kiitetyn fantasiatrilogian muut osat ovat Salamurhaajan oppipoika ja Kuninkaan salamurhaaja.

Salamurhaajan taival

Näkijän taru -klassikon tekijältä uusi fantasiatrilogia suomeksi! Kallisarvoisesta velhopuusta veistetyt laivat voivat joskus herätä itsestään tietoisiksi elolaivoiksi. Merenkävijä Althea Vestrit odottaa, että hänen rakastamansa Railakas-alus heräisi; laiva on hänen oikeutettu perintönsä. Kun Railakkaan periikin hänen siskonsa, Vestritien kauppiassuku ajautuu valtataisteluun. Laivan kohtalo saattaa kuitenkin olla muiden käsissä, sillä elolaivaa tavoittelee myös kunnianhimoinen merirosvo... Robin Hobb vie Kuuden herttuakunnan rajoille keskelle eksoottista kaukokauppaa ja merikäärmeiden asuttamia vesiä. ”Parempi kuin Näkijän taru – en uskonut, että se olisi mahdollista.” George R.R. Martin

Elolaivat

Taikuuden laiva

Näkijän tarun kuuden herttuakunnan tarina jatkuu kiihkeiden taistelujen, juonittelun ja intohimon merkeissä! Nuori Fitz, ylhäisen prinssin äpäräpoika, on selvinnyt juuri ja juuri hengissä ensimmäisestä tehtävästään salamurhaajana, kun häntä jälleen tarvitaan. Kiitetyn fantasiatrilogian muut tarinat ovat Salamurhaajan oppipoika ja Salamurhaajan taival.

Kuninkaan salamurhaaja

Fantasiatrilogian loistokas päätös huipentaa kertomuksen maagisista, elävistä laivoista. Kasalan kaupunki on kaaoksessa. Ronica Vestrit, suvun matriarkka, on menettänyt asemansa mutta pyrkii silti pelastamaan sekä rakastamansa kaupungin että sukunsa vuosikymmenten työn. Perheensä vaikeuksista tietämättä Althea Vestrit purjehtii vimmaisesti meriä päästäkseen rakastamansa elolaiva Railakkaan luo. Laiva on kuitenkin kunnianhimoisen merirosvo Kennitin kallein aarre, eivätkä merirosvot niin vain luovu saalistaan. Kun merenkävijöiden kohtalot risteävät, myös elolaivojen unohdetut salaisuudet nousevat esiin. Totuus voi tuhota Railakkaan – ja jokaisen sitä koskaan rakastaneen.
