Synopsis
Fitz lives at Withywoods under the name Tom Badgerlock, fulfilled husband of Molly. But at the dawn of their life together, an unexpected miracle upends their household: the birth of a strange child, pale-skinned with too vast a heart. And soon, strangers come asking where the white child is. For Fitz, retirement is over.
First volume of a cycle of reunions and separations, Le Fou et l'Assassin resettles Fitz into a domestic life of rare emotion, then tears him from it with a cruelty worthy of Hobb. The Fool's announced return never comes when expected. The child born of their peace carries a promise — and a terrible secret.
We never truly leave those we have loved. They walk within us.
