Synopsis

Return to Buckkeep. The prince's marriage. Fitz's recognition by royal blood. And at the threshold of Withywoods, a home, a family, another life that offers itself to him. But the Fool does not stay. There are other worlds to watch over, other futures to bend.

A wrenching conclusion to the second cycle, Adieux et Retrouvailles offers Fitz a peace he believed impossible: a home, a name, children. But the Fool's departure leaves a void that will never be filled — and which will justify, ten years later, the writing of a third cycle. Robin Hobb concludes here a fresco begun in 1995, without ever sacrificing complexity or emotion.

Goodbye does not mean an ending. Only the end of a chapter.Fool's Fate (Part 3) — Robin Hobb
