Fool’s Errand by Robin Hobb is the brilliant first installment of The Tawny Man Trilogy and the seventh book overall in her acclaimed Realm of the Elderlings universe. Picking up 15 years after the devastating events of Assassin’s Quest

For a decade and a half, Fitz has lived under the alias Tom Badgerlock in a remote cottage. He lives a quiet, isolated life with his adopted son, Hap, and his aging Wit-bonded wolf, Nighteyes. He is presumed dead by the royal family and his past love, Molly

This hard-won peace is shattered when his old mentor, Chade, and his dearest friend, the Fool (now disguised as the flamboyant Lord Golden), track him down. Prince Dutiful, the young heir to the Farseer throne, has vanished just days before a crucial diplomatic wedding that could secure peace with the Outislanders. Fitz is the only man with the unique magical skills—and the absolute loyalty to the crown—capable of tracking the young prince down. What begins as a straightforward rescue mission quickly spirals into a dark web of political conspiracy and magical extremism
