false 45112 25 From an extraordinary new voice in fantasy comes the stunning conclusion to the Farseer trilogy, as FitzChivalry confronts his destiny as the catalyst who holds the fate of the kingdom of the Six Duchies...and the world itself.<br><br>King Shrewd is dead at the hands of his son Regal. As is Fitz--or so his enemies and friends believe. But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul. The kingdom also teeters toward ruin: Regal has plundered and abandoned the capital, while the rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost to his mad quest--perhaps to death. Only Verity's return--or the heir his princess carries--can save the Six Duchies.<br><br>But Fitz will not wait. Driven by loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill Regal. The journey casts him into deep waters, as he discovers wild currents of magic within him--currents that will either drown him or make him something more than he was.... 503752 1997 Assassin's Quest (The Farseer Trilogy, #3) total:3374|5:1343|4:1251|3:616|2:127|1:37| 3374 13858 4197 153 2 3 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 06:18:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 06:18:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Tue Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 12:25:04 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 18:46:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false true Sun Sep 07 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 15:28:44 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 09:01:09 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Tue Jan 22 07:03:23 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 07:03:23 -0800 2008
