Assassin's Apprentice: Farseer Trilogy
Autor Robin Hobben Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 aug 2023
Războiul civil bate la ușa regatului celor Șase Ducate, iar veștile rele se succed într-un ritm devastator. Prințul încoronat se află în fața unei abdicări forțate din cauza bastardului ăl cărui tată este. Numele copilului este Fitz, iar soarta lui pare una neagră.
Crescut în grajdurile castelului și având parte doar de compania bufonului regal și de cea a copiilor nevoiași din partea săracă a orașului, Fitz pare că nu are prea multe șanse de izbândă.
Însă legătura specială pe care acesta o are cu animalele și ajutorul venit din partea familiei Farseer care îl introduc în tainele magiei tradiționale îl vor pregăti pe Fitz să devină un asasin redutabil. Deși discreditat de către familia regală, Fitz trebuie să lupte și să supraviețuiască deoarece destinul său este acela de a salva regatul.

Descriere scurtă
Young Fitz is the bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his father’s gruff stableman. He is treated as an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin. For in Fitz’s blood runs the magic Skill—and the darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and rejected by his family.
As barbarous raiders ravage the coasts, Fitz is growing to manhood. Soon he will face his first dangerous, soul-shattering mission. And though some regard him as a threat to the throne, he may just be the key to the survival of the kingdom.
Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin’s Apprentice
“A gleaming debut in the crowded field of epic fantasies . . . a delightful take on the powers and politics behind the throne.”—Publishers Weekly
“This is the kind of book you fall into, and start reading slower as you get to the end, because you don’t want it to be over.”—Steven Brust
Descriere
‘Fantasy as it ought to be written’ George R.R. Martin
The kingdom of the Six Duchies is on the brink of civil war when news breaks that the crown prince has fathered a bastard son and is shamed into abdication. The child’s name is Fitz, and his is despised.
Raised in the castle stables, only the company of the king’s fool, the ragged children of the lower city and his unusual affinity with animals provide Fitz with any comfort.
To be useful to the crown, Fitz is trained as an assassin; and to use the traditional magic of the Farseer family. But his tutor, allied to another political faction, is determined to discredit, even kill him. Fitz must survive: for he may be destined to save the kingdom.
Notă biografică
Robin Hobb is one of the world's finest writers of epic fiction.She was born in California in 1952 but raised in Alaska, where she learned how to raise a wolf cub, to skin a moose and to survive in the wilderness. When she married a fisherman who fished herring and the Kodiak salmon-run for half the year, these skills would stand her in good stead. She raised her family, ran a smallholding, delivered post to her remote community, all at the same time as writing stories and novels. She succeeded on all fronts, raising four children and becoming an internationally best-selling writer. She lives in Tacoma, Washington State.
