The Golden Fool

Product Description

At Buckkeep castle, a grieving and reluctant Fitz is assigned to protect Dutiful and, at the urging of the mercurial old assassin, Chade, take on the mantle of Skillmaster. But Fitz's efforts to locate Skill-users for Dutiful's coterie attract some unlikely, and potentially dangerous, recruits.
Now that Dutiful is safe, Queen Kettricken's plans to marry her son to the Outislander princess, Elliania, can proceed, securing a lasting peace with the former enemies of the Sis Duchies. But before Elliania will accept, she challenges Dutiful to undertake an impossible quest: he must travel to the Out Islands and slay a legendary dragon.
