New York Times best-selling creator Robin Hobb - "one of the main writers in 21st-century fantasy" (Contra Costa Times) - continues her enthralling fantasy saga of dragons and their keepers. Once, dragons ruled the Rainfall Wilds, tended by privileged human servants known as Elderlings. But some cataclysmic eruptions practically drove these magnificent animals to extinction. Given birth to weakened and deformed, the previous with their kind experienced one expect survival: to come back to their early city of Kelsingra. Along with a disparate crew of untested young keepers, the dragons embarked on a harsh journey in to the unknown over the toxic Rain Outdoors River. Battling hunger, a hostile climate, and treacherous foes, dragons and humans started to forge magical connections, bonds which have wrought astonishing transformations for them all. And even though Kelsingra is finally near, their odyssey has only begun. Due to the swollen waters of the Rainfall Outdoors River, the lost city can be come to only by flight - a test of endurance and skill beyond the stunted dragons' strength. Venturing across the swift-running river in small vessels, the dragon scholar Alise and a small number of keepers discover a world far different from anything they have got ever known or thought. Immense, ornate constructions of black natural stone veined with magic and lifelike natural stone statues sections the silent, eerily vacant streets. Yet what are the whispers they hear, the shadows of voices and bursts of light that flutter and are gone? And just why do they feel as if eyes are observing them? The dragons must plumb the depths with their ancestral stories to help them take flight and unlock the secrets buried in Kelsingra. But foes powered by greed and dark dreams are getting close to. Time is jogging out, not limited to the dragons but also for their human keepers as well.
