Brief Summary [ "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 like an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him sectetly 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." -- quoted from Robin Hobb's site. ]
Reason for Recommendation [ The history is rich, the storyline is superb, the characterization is amazing. The characters in the story will stay with you long after you read the books. This is one of those books you can reread and discover new things. The highs and lows the main character experiences will have you emotionally involved, sucked in. It's hard to put down. ]
