It has been fifteen years since the terrible Outislanders and Red Ships ended in a war. Since then, Fitz has traveled the globe alone with Nighteyes, his wolf and Wit companion, until relocating to a little cottage as far away from Buckkeep and the Farseers as he could.
However, the outside world has now crashed back in. Because of their mystical connections to animals, the Witted are under persecution, and young Prince Dutiful has vanished shortly before his important diplomatic marriage to an Outlander princess. Fitz's mission to return Dutiful in time for the ceremony seems to be a complete waste of time, but the threats that lie ahead could spell the end for the Farseer dynasty.
