Book Description
A turbulent story of violence, desire, and intrigue in ancient Phoenicia. Straton, royal descendant of a past ruling house, watched as his native land—the great Phoenician port city of Tyre—was torn apart by intrigues within the government. Called home from his voyages, Straton saw young King Pygmalion yielding to the degenerate influences of an evil stranger. His love for Hera and the jealousy of Queen Elissa obscured by the turmoil that threatened to destroy them all, Straton tried to heal the rifts within Tyre. The treasure he had carried home from a distant island—the Dragon's Blood—promised to bring great wealth to the city and to unite the people. But as the Phoenicians struggled with their fears and superstitions, their Abyssinian enemies prepared for war. With the clash of swords and the thrust of spears, The Purple Quest builds to an exciting climax as blood flows in the city of Tyre and on the ships that for five hundred years had carried the Phoenicians to the farthest corners of the ancient world.

Book Description
“An enthralling conclusion to this superb trilogy, displaying an exceptional combination of originality, magic, adventure, character, and drama.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) King Shrewd is dead at the hands of his son Regal. As is Fitz—or so his enemies and friends believe. But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul. The kingdom also teeters toward ruin: Regal has plundered and abandoned the capital, while the rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost to his mad quest—perhaps to death. Only Verity’s return—or the heir his princess carries—can save the Six Duchies. But Fitz will not wait. Driven by loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill Regal. The journey casts him into deep waters, as he discovers wild currents of magic within him—currents that will either drown him or make him something more than he was. Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin’s Quest “Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.”—George R. R. Martin “Superbly written, wholly satisfying, unforgettable: better than any fantasy trilogy in print—including mine!”—Melanie Rawn
