About this ebook

The third book in a seafaring fantasy trilogy that George R. R. Martin has described as “even better than the Farseer Trilogy—I didn’t think that was possible.”

As Bingtown slides toward disaster, clan matriarch Ronica Vestrit, branded a traitor, searches for a way to bring the city’s inhabitants together against a momentous threat. Meanwhile, Althea Vestrit, unaware of what has befallen Bingtown and her family, continues her perilous quest to track down and recover her liveship, the Vivacia, from the ruthless pirate Kennit.

Bold though it is, Althea’s scheme may be in vain. For her beloved Vivacia will face the most terrible confrontation of all as the secret of the liveships is revealed. It is a truth so shattering, it may destroy the Vivacia and all who love her, including Althea’s nephew, whose life already hangs in the balance.

SHIP OF MAGIC • MAD SHIP • SHIP OF DESTINY

Ratings and reviews

As with all of Ms. Hobb's books this book was incredible. In every storyline I am drawn into the worlds she creates. Now I must wait until the sequel to Fools Assassin comes out as I have read all of her books.

I must agree with the previous reviewer... She doesn't go easy on them, but then rising to a challenge is more enjoyable to read about than having everything come easy... No complaints!

She just really REALLY hates her main characters. In the best way possible.
