The first book in a brand new trilogy from the author of the Farseer, Liveship Traders and Tawny Man trilogies. When the 200-year war between the kingdoms of Vania and Landsing ended, the Landsingers were left in triumphant possession of Vania's rich coal and coast territories. Over the next 20 years, cavalry forces manage to subdue the inland Troven plains formerly wasted on nomadic herders and tribesmen. Troven's campaign restores the pride of the Varnian military and to reward them, Troven creates a new nobility that is extremely loyal to their monarch. Nevare Gerar is the second son of one of King Troven's new lords. Following in his father's footsteps, a commission as a cavalry officer at the frontier and an advantageous marriage await him, once he has completed his training at the King's Cavalry Academy. Nevare is posted to the current frontier of Varnia, the heavily forested Barrier Mountains, home to enigmatic Specks: a dappled, forest-dwelling people, unable to tolerate the heat and full sunlight of the plains.

'Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers! what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics.' The Times Praise for The Liveship Traders series: 'Even better than the Assassin books. I didn't think that was possible' George R R Martin A truly extraordinary saga! the characterizations are consistently superb, and [Hobb] animates everything with love for and knowledge of the sea. If Patrick O'Brian were to turn to writing high fantasy, he might produce something like this.' BOOKLIST 'A wonderful book, by a writer at the height of her abilities' J V Jones
Robin Hobb was born in California in 1952 and majored in Communications at Denver University, Colorado. Assassin's Apprentice was her first novel, and was followed by the equally successful Royal Assassin and Assassin's Quest. She lives outside Seattle, Washington.
