Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.”—George R. R. Martin Young Fitz is the bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his father’s gruff stableman. He is treated as an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin. For in Fitz’s blood runs the magic Skill—and the darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and rejected by his family. As barbarous raiders ravage the coasts, Fitz is growing to manhood. Soon he will face his first dangerous, soul-shattering mission. And though some regard him as a threat to the throne, he may just be the key to the survival of the kingdom. **Praise for Robin Hobb and _Assassin’s Apprentice_** > “A gleaming debut in the crowded field of epic fantasies . . . a delightful take on the powers and politics behind the throne.”—Publishers Weekly > > “This is the kind of book you fall into, and start reading slower as you get to the end, because you don’t want it to be over.”—Steven Brust Show more Get the Bindery app * * * Posts about this title from Fantasy & Frens [Fantasy & Frens\\ \\ Zoranne\\ \\ • Jan 4 2024](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/) [finally! my favorite books of 2023! 🥳 i read some amazing books this year so it was difficult to narrow it down to just 10 books! books mentioned: 1. tress of the emerald sea by brandon sanderson 2. beach read by emily henry 3. one dark window by rachel gillig 4. dark water daughter by h. m. long 5. piranesi by susanna clarke 6. assassin’s apprentice by robin hobb 7. a study in drowning by ava reid 8. to shape a dragon’s breath by moniquill black goose 9. circe by madeline miller 10. smp book #bestbooks2023 #favoritebooksof2023 #fantasybooktok](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/item/oxJvSUF0fk4spB41OTbV/) finally! my favorite books of 2023! 🥳 i read some amazing books this year so it was difficult to narrow it down to just 10 books! books mentioned: 1. tress of the emerald sea by brandon sanderson 2. beach read by emily henry 3. one dark window by rachel gillig 4. dark water daughter by h. m. long 5. piranesi by susanna clarke 6. assassin’s apprentice by robin hobb 7. a study in drowning by ava reid 8. to shape a dragon’s breath by moniquill black goose 9. circe by madeline miller 10. smp book #bestbooks2023 #favoritebooksof2023 #fantasybooktok * * * 9 books [Fantasy & Frens\\ \\ Zoranne\\ \\ • Dec 6 2023](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/) [complete fantasy series recommendations i think are worth reading (or worth gifting)! if you have read any of these books, let me know what you think! ◡̈ books mentioned: - the faithful and the fallen quartet by john gwynne - the broken earth trilogy by n. k. jemisin - the shepard king duology by rachel gillig - the farseer trilogy by robin hobb - shades of magic trilogy by v. e. schwab #fantasyseriesrec #fantasyseries #epicfantasybooks #zorannereads](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/item/GcckWuEULY8dazcgKxYG/) complete fantasy series recommendations i think are worth reading (or worth gifting)! if you have read any of these books, let me know what you think! ◡̈ books mentioned: - the faithful and the fallen quartet by john gwynne - the broken earth trilogy by n. k. jemisin - the shepard king duology by rachel gillig - the farseer trilogy by robin hobb - shades of magic trilogy by v. e. schwab #fantasyseriesrec #fantasyseries #epicfantasybooks #zorannereads * * * 15 books [Fantasy & Frens\\ \\ Zoranne\\ \\ • Sep 12 2023](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/) [8/21/23 Weekly Reading Update](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/item/mYKYNoA02RIUsxNTxmBQ/) What did you read this week!? * * * 2 books 4 [Fantasy & Frens\\ \\ Zoranne\\ \\ • Sep 12 2023](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/) [8/15/23 Weekly Reading Update!](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/item/euHkEbKpfRdFrg8k1e7C/) What did you read this week?! * * * 5 books 4 [Fantasy & Frens\\ \\ Zoranne\\ \\ • Aug 15 2023](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/) [what did you read this week?!? \\ \\ thank you @sourcebookscasa for gifting me a copy of cruel seduction! 💙\\ \\ #weeklyreadingupdate #darkolympusseries #realmoftheelderlings #bookishreels](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/item/VCLfUS7aBwlQlS5Eq3Rk/) what did you read this week?!? thank you @sourcebookscasa for gifting me a copy of cruel seduction! 💙 #weeklyreadingupdate #darkolympusseries #realmoftheelderlings #bookishreels * * * 3 books [Fantasy & Frens\\ \\ Zoranne\\ \\ • Aug 8 2023](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/) [what did you read this week?!\\ \\ my august reads are off to a great start!! and i can’t believe i am finally starting my robin hobb journey! ☺️\\ \\ #weeklyreadingupdate #fantasybookseries #bookishreels #darkolympus #farseertrilogy](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/item/qFHAJwpccaeegnN4NqxD/) what did you read this week?! my august reads are off to a great start!! and i can’t believe i am finally starting my robin hobb journey! ☺️ #weeklyreadingupdate #fantasybookseries #bookishreels #darkolympus #farseertrilogy * * * 4 books [Fantasy & Frens\\ \\ Zoranne\\ \\ • Jan 15 2023](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/) [23 BOOKS I WANT TO READ IN 2023](https://fantasyandfrens.binderybooks.com/item/eLjBFGOavnDi7Z7gS5LY/) these are the 23 fantasy books i \*hope\* to read in 2023! please wish me luck because i am going to need it!
