Bingtown is a hub of exotic trade and home to a merchant nobility famed for its liveships rare vessels carved from wizardwood, which ripens magically into sentient awareness. Now the fortunes of one of Bingtown s oldest families rest on the newly awakened liveship Vivacia. For Althea Vestrit, the ship is her rightful legacy. For Althea s young nephew, wrenched from his religious studies and forced to serve aboard the ship, the Vivacia is a life sentence. But the fate of the ship and the Vestrits may ultimately lie in the hands of an outsider: the ruthless buccaneer captain Kennit, who plans to seize power over the Pirate Isles by capturing a liveship and bending it to his will. Praise for Robin Hobb and the Liveship Traders Trilogy Fantasy as it ought to be written […] Robin Hobb s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons. George R. R. Martin A truly extraordinary saga […] The characterizations are consistently superb, and Hobb] animates everything with love for and knowledge of the sea. Booklist A major work of high fantasy, reading like a cross between Tolkien and Patrick O Brian […] one of the finest fantasy sagas to bridge the millennium. Publishers Weekly Rich, complex […] Hobb s] plotting is complex but tightly controlled, and her descriptive powers match her excellent visual imagination. But her chief virtue is that she delineates character extremely well. Interzone'
