Synopsis
Kennit has himself crowned king of the pirate isles. His alliance with the now-conscious Vivacia fascinates and terrifies. Meanwhile, Wintrow wavers between loyalty to his master and growing suspicions. And in Bingtown, Reyn attempts the impossible to bring back Malta.
Apotheosis and fall. Kennit, that morally ambiguous character built with rare virtuosity, reaches the height of his power — only to find there the questions he refused. Hobb never judges her characters: she lets them reveal themselves. This volume is one of the most politically dense in the saga.
A pirate king is still a pirate. But a pirate with a crown becomes something else.
