Robin hobb on her incredible career and visiting old friends in fool s assassin
Plot summary
FitzChivalry is a royal bastard and a former king's assassin, and has left the world of intrigue at Buckkeep court to enjoy a quiet life with his wife Molly and their children. For the rest of the world FitzChivalry Farseer died many years ago, and Fitz is now known as Tom Badgerlock, landlord of Withywoods.
Daily life has put aside Fitz's haunting of the disappearance of the Fool, who helped shape Fitz into the man he has become. At least, that's what he thinks until the appearance of menacing, pale-skinned strangers at the Winter festivities, ten years after he last saw the Fool. That's when Fitz realizes he must take up his old life as former assassin once more...
