Synopsis

Malta Vestrit descends into the buried city of the Elderlings. In those ruins, an ancient presence has waited for centuries. Meanwhile, at sea, the Paragon races south, and Kennit consolidates his power over the pirate islands.

A grand conclusion to The Mad Ship. The buried city reveals its secrets: gigantic dragon cocoons have been waiting for millennia for the sea serpents to return. Malta, imprisoned in this antechamber of death, becomes unknowingly the missing link of the entire epic. A pivotal volume of the maritime trilogy.

Every prison is a cocoon, if one knows how to wait.The Mad Ship (Part 3) — Robin Hobb
