The second is that the camera is panned around a bit - instead of the tight focus on Alys, Cedric, the Tarmon, the Dragons and their Keepers, we get a peek at what is happening in the wider world - Selden the Elderling, Tintaglia and her mate Icefire (who fits the expression "not unless he was the last man on Earth" nicely), Martya and Rayne, the situation in Chalced and what's happening with Alys' happily erstwhile husband in Bingtown. There are two main differences between this book and the previous two books in the series - the first is that it's about half the size. Where is Tintaglia, the great sapphire-blue dragon, when all have such need of her? Has she really abandoned her beloved Selden and the fledgling dragons forever? Or will she too return to seek the wonders of Kelsingra? Meanwhile, Selden Vestrit finds himself a prisoner of the ailing Duke of Chalced, who believes him to be some sort of dragon-man whose flesh and blood may work miracle cures. Adventurers, pirates and fortune hunters are coming in droves to pillage what they can from the city. Already, rumours of the city’s discovery have floated down the Rain Wild River and reached envious ears in Bingtown and beyond. Once the rest of the world knows about the riches the city contains, nothing will ever be the same again. But wondrous things wait in Kelsingra, a city built for dragons and their Elderling keepers.Īlise, overwhelmed by the treasures she finds there, records her finds for posterity. The other dragons, with their deformed wings and feeble muscles, are afraid to risk failure and humiliation. The dragons and their keepers have discovered Kelsingra but so far only Heeby has succeeded in flying over the river to enter the fabled city. Kelsingra waits for those brave enough to enter… Return to the world of the Liveships Traders and journey along the Rain Wild River in the third installment of high adventure from the author of the internationally acclaimed Farseer trilogy.
