[Giveaway] Fool’s Assassin by Robin Hobb
Tom Badgerlock has been living peaceably in the manor house at Withywoods with his beloved wife Molly these many years, the estate a reward to his family for loyal service to the crown.
But behind the facade of respectable middle-age lies a turbulent and violent past. For Tom Badgerlock is actually FitzChivalry Farseer, bastard scion of the Farseer line, convicted user of Beast-magic, and assassin. A man who has risked much for his king and lost more…
On a shelf in his den sits a triptych carved in memory stone of a man, a wolf and a fool. Once, these three were inseparable friends: Fitz, Nighteyes and the Fool. But one is long dead, and one long-missing.
Then one Winterfest night a messenger arrives to seek out Fitz, but mysteriously disappears, leaving nothing but a blood-trail. What was the message? Who was the sender? And what has happened to the messenger?
Suddenly Fitz’s violent old life erupts into the peace of his new world, and nothing and no one is safe.
Sat here for awhile deciding what to put here and finally decided I’ll just make this post short and to the point. Penguin Randomhouse/Del Rey Books was kind enough to send me a copy of Fool’s Assassin by Robin Hobb to “Give to a Friend” as a thank you for supporing the series. Luckily for everyone reading this none of my friends read fantasy so I’ve decided to do a quick little giveaway on the blog!

I’m always looking for new D&D/RPG fodder to inspire new angles. I’ve always seen the Hobb books but haven’t tried them yet.

I’ve vowed to start reading Robin’s work this year, so this contest has come at the perfect time!

It’s an amazing series if a bit slow to start so it’s well worth reading!
