But greedy men have designs to restore him, to sail the waters of the Rain Wild River once more. Now he lies, blind, lonely and broken on a deserted beach. The Paragon, known by many as the Pariah, went mad, turned turtle and drowned his crew. Others plot to win, or steal, a liveship. Listen to discovery playlists featuring The Liveship Traders 3 - Ship of Destiny, by Robin Hobb, read by Anne Flosnik (Audiobook extract) by HarperCollins.
Only to discover that the Vivacia has been signed away in her father’s will to her brutal brother-in-law, Kyle Haven. The liveship Vivacia is about to undergo her quickening, as Althea Vestrit’s father is carried on deck in his death-throes.Īlthea waits for the ship that she loves more than anything else in the world to awaken. But how can one trade with the Rain Wilders, when only a liveship, fashioned from wizardwood, can negotiate the perilous waters of the Rain River? Rare and valuable, a liveship will quicken only when three members, from successive generations, have died on board. Like many legendary wares, it comes only from the Rain River Wilds.
The most precious commodity in the world. Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons. Set in a land bordering the Six Duchies, Robin Hobb begins her epic of pirates, talking ships, magic, sea serpents, slave revolts, dashing heroes and bloody battles. Praise for Robin Hobb and the Liveship Traders Trilogy Fantasy as it ought to be written. From the author of the classic Farseer trilogy, Ship of Magic is the first part of the Liveship Traders.
