Synopsis
First volume of Ship of Destiny, this book is the one of awakenings. The great dragon Tintaglia emerges from her cocoon and invades the sky of Bingtown. The serpent Maulkin leads his last companions toward the river of the Rain Wilds. And the Vivacia, still captive of Kennit, begins to speak in the forgotten language of the Elderlings.
The tipping point. Dragons are back. The figureheads of the liveships finally understand their origin: they are not human spirits frozen in wood, but unborn dragons whose cocoons were cut down to build their hulls. The revelation is cataclysmic. Robin Hobb signs here one of the most masterful reversals in modern fantasy.
We were dragons. The wood remembers.
