About the product
Our original printing of the Farseer Trilogy was incredibly popular and after many requests, we’re overjoyed to be able to offer a reprint via an open preorder period. The open preorder period will until 3pm BST (UK time) on 27 May.
We will also be doing a Liveship Traders set, which will be announced later this year.
The kingdom of the Six Duchies is on the brink of civil war when news breaks that the crown prince has fathered a bastard son and is shamed into abdication. The child’s name is Fitz, and he is despised.
Raised in the castle stables, only the company of the king’s fool, the ragged children of the lower city and his unusual affinity with animals provide Fitz with any comfort.
To be useful to the crown, Fitz is trained as an assassin; and to use the traditional magic of the Farseer family. But his tutor, allied to another political faction, is determined to discredit, even kill him. Fitz must survive: for he may be destined to save the kingdom.
Enter the extraordinary world of Robin Hobb’s magnificent Farseer Trilogy. . .

‘In today’s crowded fantasy market Robin Hobb’s books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons’ - George R. R. Martin
'Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers … what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics.' - The Times
‘This is a historical novel with a sly touch of magic. The first in the Farseer trilogy, this book will get new readers hooked on a series that recalls HBO’s Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings’ - Telegraph
About the Author
- MWMelissa W.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoStunning!
I finished reading this trilogy in January and it is such a fantastic read. The artwork in these editions really beautifully encompases key moments and landscapes within the trilogy. I adore the cover of Assassin's Apprentice so much I have the front out displayed on my bookshelf. Very stunning editions and one of my favourites from Illumicrate.

What is Illumicrate?
Illumicrate started life as a quarterly subscription box, and we're proud that we were the first UK book subscription box! We launched in the summer of 2015, and our very first box was November 2015. We now offer two options for the Illumicrate monthly subscriptions: a full box subscription and a book only subscription, which features the books included in our monthly boxes.
In 2021 we launched Afterlight, a quarterly romance subscription box that is now monthly. Evernight, a quarterly horror subscription box, was launched in July 2023. Our new science fiction book only subscription Starbright will launch in February 2025.
We also offer special editions of books and book sets, with a range of customisations exclusive to Illumicrate. We have also held virtual signings and in 2019 we launched our Debut Boxes, showcasing new debut authors. Our Collections, Archives and Mini-boxes focus on a particular author or fandom.
