“Robin Hobb is one of our very best fantasy writers.”New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson

With Dragon Keeper, Robin Hobb, critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling “master fantasist” (Baltimore Sun), begins a breathtaking  new series about the resurgence of dragons in a world that both needs and fears them—the world Hobb’s readers most recently visited in her immensely popular “Tawny Man” trilogy. Volume One of the Rain Wilds Chronicles, Dragon Keeper is yet another magnificent adventure from the author of  The Soldier Son and Farseer Trilogies, confirming the Contra Costa Times of California’s assessment of Hobb as “one of the most important writers in 21st century fantasy.”

“Once you gave your mask to me, you would be allowed to venture down that path. The handmaidens of the forest would prepare you for me...all control surrendered, waiting and ready for my claim. Oh, you will find it a bit dreadful, I must admit.”

Princess Evaline

I should not be so intrigued by the King of the Revels’ wicked promise. I should not wish to abandon my family and remain in this faery land of song and dance forever. But it was a temptation, when in my own homeland of Torina, my pious mother forbids me from my beloved music and dancing…much less dancing with beautiful men.

But do I love the King of the Revels enough to belong to him?

I was locked up with the princess. There was something about her delicate features, her small mouth slightly open in sleep, and her breath slowly rising and falling, that stirred a deeply protective instinct like I had never felt before.

Will

I haven’t been the same man since the King of Torina sent me to fight in his pointless, bloody war. I came home with a limp and bad memories of my friends dying in my arms, but now the king has offered Princess Evaline’s hand to anyone who can figure out why her slippers are worn out in the morning. I accepted out of revenge. But as soon as I saw her, I knew I wanted to capture her heart fair and square. First, I’ll have get past the King of the Revels…

These Wicked Revels is a standalone fairy tale retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses for those who like an unabashedly adorable happily ever after with a side of

serious steaminess!

(Even the trees are naughty in this one. You've been warned.)

After seeing Gallareal killed, and banishing the Paragon Dracus from the Heart Tree's side of the world, Vanx from the little Zythian village called, Malic, and his canine familiar, Sir Poopsalot, find themselves alone in a strange part of Harthgar. The Octrant tower, at least the one they appeared in, is unusable, and the rough, seemingly uninhabited land proves unlivable, even for one as skilled as our half-Zythian hero. But all Vanx wants to do is get he and his dog, back to Saint Elm's Deep, where he can grieve over the loss of the first woman he'd ever really let into his heart.

Will Vanx and Poops survive long enough to find a way? Or will the blue-glowing, dragon torturing, Paragon shape shifter want revenge? After all, Vanx is on its turf now, and he may be in for more than he can handle.

Vanx just wants to go home, but he may end up having to stick around until he finishes what's been started.
