The end of Hobb’s hugely enjoyable Rain Wild Chronicles, this is a fittingly brilliant end to a series that started so exceptionally with Dragon Keeper. If you haven’t read the first three books (though you should) then don’t even think about reading this first, but fans will be hugely satisfied by its thrills and fast paced conclusion.
'Fantasy as it ought to be written' George R.R. Martin
The final instalment of Robin Hobb's Sunday Times bestselling series The Rain Wild Chronicles.
Dragons will fly over Kelsingra once more…
Attacked by hunters, Tintaglia is dying of her wounds. If she perishes, her ancestral memories will die with her and the dragons in the ancient city of Kelsingra will lose the secret knowledge they need to survive.
The dragon keepers immerse themselves in the dangerously addictive memory-stone records of the city in the hope of recovering the lost Elderling magic that once allowed humans and dragons to co-exist.
But war is coming: war between dragons and those who would destroy them…

'Hobb is superb, spinning wonderful characters and plots from pure imagination' Conn Iggulden
'Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers... what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics' The Times
