Fitz has remained in Jhaampe in the Mountain Kingdom. He is still recovering from the attempts on his life by his uncle, Prince Regal. He is caught up in a Skill dream of King Shrewd and sees two terrible things. Firstly, he feels the suffering of the old king and, secondly, he sees his beloved Molly about to be killed by the Red Ship Raiders. Fitz and Burrich hurry to return to Buckkeep, where Fitz find new challenges, new trials and new happiness. Fitz and his friends work to save the Six Duchies from internal and external enemies as Regal plots to undermine Verity. Fitz becomes Verity's eyes and ears on missions to drive off the Red Ship Raiders. However, despite their best efforts, the Raiders grow stronger and bolder. Verity decides that the only hope for his kingdom is to go in search of the legendary Elderlings who are believed to live on the far side of the Mountain Kingdom. As Verity sets out, Fitz remains behind and quickly becomes embroiled in plots that could either save the Six Duchies or destroy it. FantasyFantasy
