The Fitz and the Fool Trilogy — Volume 2
Fool's Assassin (Part 2)
Bee grows up. The Fool returns — broken.
Synopsis
Bee, daughter of Fitz and Molly, traverses a strange childhood. The Fool, after an interminable absence, reappears at Withywoods — tortured, mutilated, blind. And behind him looms the shadow of the Servants, those who made his body an experimental ground.
Second volume of the original Fool's Assassin, this book raises the stakes. The Fool's return is a shock — he is no longer who we knew. The Servants of Clerres have broken him. And Bee, who sees what adults do not, is now in danger. Hobb patiently sets up the saga's final drama.
We never come back the same. But we come back.
