Synopsis
In the aftermath of a traumatic attack on his home at Withywoods, FitzChivalry returns to Buckkeep Castle with the gravely injured Fool in tow, seeking help he is not certain the court can still offer him. He soon learns that his young daughter, Bee, has been abducted by mysterious pale-skinned servants seeking the unexpected son of prophecy, and sets out on a perilous journey toward their distant homeland to find her, accompanied by unlikely allies old and new. Racing against time and against enemies whose full purpose remains unclear, Fitz must draw on skills he thought he had left behind to bring his daughter home.
