Content:
"The first volume in Robin Hobb’s internationally bestselling Farseer series. In a faraway land where members of the royal family are named for the virtues they embody, one young boy will become a walking enigma. Born on the wrong side of the sheets, Fitz, son of Chilvary Farseer, is a royal bastard, cast out into the world, friendless and lonely. Only his magical link with animals - the old art known as the Wit - gives him solace and companionship. But the Wit, if used too often, is a perilous magic, and one abhorred by the nobility. So when Fitz is finally adopted into the royal household, he must give up his old ways and embrace a new life of weaponry, scribbing, courtly manners,and how to kill a man secretly, as he trains to become a royal assassin."

She succeeded on all fronts, raising four children and becoming an internationally best-selling writer. She lives in Tacoma, Washington State."
