Прошли годы с тех пор, как Шесть Герцогств одержали верх над пиратами красных кораблей и их повелительницей Бледной Госпожой. В стране воцарился мир. После всех тягот и испытаний Фитц Чивэл Видящий, внебрачный сын принца Чивэла, женился на той, кого всегда любил, и они поселились в уютном поместье под названием Ивовый Лес. Годы текли в покое и радости, и лишь одно огорчало Фитца: его друг Шут вернулся на свою далекую таинственную родину и так и не прислал весточки. Но у судьбы свои планы на Фитца Чивэла, и череда загадочных и зловещих событий оказалась предвестием новой большой беды.

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.

Nearly twenty years ago, Robin Hobb burst upon the fantasy scene with the first of her acclaimed Farseer novels, Assassin’s Apprentice, which introduced the characters of FitzChivalry Farseer and his uncanny friend the Fool. A watershed moment in modern fantasy, this novel — and those that followed—broke exciting new ground in a beloved genre. Together with George R.R.Martin, Robin Hobb helped pave the way for such talented new voices as Scott Lynch, Brandon Sanderson, and Naomi Novik.
Over the years, Hobb’s imagination has soared throughout the mythic lands of the Six Duchies in such bestselling series as the Liveship Traders Trilogy and the Rain Wilds Chronicles. But no matter how far she roamed, her heart always remained with Fitz. And now, at last, she has come home, with an astonishing new novel that opens a dark and gripping chapter in the Farseer saga.
FitzChivalry—royal bastard and former king’s assassin—has left his life of intrigue behind. As far as the rest of the world knows, FitzChivalry Farseer is dead and buried. Masquerading as Tom Badgerlock, Fitz is now married to his childhood sweetheart, Molly, and leading the quiet life of a country squire.
Though Fitz is haunted by the disappearance of the Fool, who did so much to shape Fitz into the man he has become, such private hurts are put aside in the business of daily life, at least until the appearance of menacing, pale-skinned strangers casts a sinister shadow over Fitz’s past... and his future.
Now, to protect his new life, the former assassin must once again take up his old one...

Впервые на русском языке!

Том Баджерлок много лет вел мирную жизнь со своей обожаемой женой Молли в особняке Ивовый Лес, который был пожалован его семье за верную службу короне. Но за фасадом респектабельного человека среднего возраста скрывается бурное прошлое. Ибо на самом деле Том Барджелок – это Фитц Чивел Видящий, бастард из династии Видящих, некогда осужденный за использование звериной магии, и обученный убийца. Человек, который многим рисковал ради своего короля и многое в своей жизни терял… В его личной комнате-берлоге на полке стоит тройная статуэтка, вырезанная из камня памяти и изображающая человека, волка и шута. Некогда эти трое были неразлучными…

Biały Gaj wydaje się najzwyklejszym, zadbanym gospodarstwem, położonym na uboczu, w spokojnej okolicy Królestwa Sześciu Księstw. Tom Borsuczowłosy od lat wiedzie tam we dworze spokojny żywot z ukochaną żoną, Sikorką. Majątek stanowi nagrodę za wierną służbę koronie. Pozory mylą. Para małżeńska w średnim wieku ma za sobą burzliwą przeszłość. Tom Borsuczowłosy to w rzeczywistości Bastard Rycerski, bękart z królewskiego rodu Przezornych, skrytobójca posługujący się zakazaną magią. Człowiek, który wiele poświęcił rodowi panującemu, a jeszcze więcej przez oddanie mu stracił. Ma w gabinecie szczególną pamiątkę: czarny kamień, w którym…

Pozory mylą. Para małżeńska w średnim wieku ma za sobą burzliwą przeszłość. Tom Borsuczowłosy to w rzeczywistości Bastard Rycerski, bękart z królewskiego rodu Przezornych, skrytobójca posługujący się zakazaną magią. Człowiek, który wiele poświęcił rodowi panującemu, a jeszcze więcej przez oddanie mu stracił.

Ma w gabinecie szczególną pamiątkę: czarny kamień, w którym wyrzeźbiono jego samego, wilka oraz Błazna. Swego czasu, połączeni magią we trzech byli jednym, lecz wilk dawno stracił życie, a Błazen gdzieś przepadł. Pogodna codzienność nie łagodzi tęsknoty.

Aż którejś nocy, w czasie zimowego balu, przybywa ktoś z wiadomością dla Bastarda. Posłaniec szybko znika w tajemniczych okolicznościach, zostawiając za sobą ślady krwi. Kto to taki? Gdzie się podział? Od kogo pochodziły wieści?

Przeszłość Bastarda raptem wdziera się w jego spokojny świat i od tej pory nikt już nie jest bezpieczny.
