Description: With Prince Dutiful safely back in the Farseer fold, FitzChivalry finds himself thrust back into his old life at Buckkeep, once more the secret spy behind the walls -- only this time not just as Chade's apprentice. For the master intriguer is growing old, his memory failing, and it is Fitz who must take over, balancing the ever-shifting loyalties and convoluted court intrigues. Worse, everyone seems to be harboring secrets -- most particularly Prince Dutiful's betrothed. As Fitz tries to sort out the truth behind the Outislander delegation, instruct the prince in his hereditary Skill magic, and deal with the increasing chaos of his own personal life and the growing Piebald threats against the prince, only his enduring friendship with the Fool brings him solace. But even that is shattered when unexpected visitors from Bingtown arrive. Now bereft of support and adrift in a sea of intrigue, Fitz's biggest challenge may be simply to survive.
