The Rain Wilds Chronicles - Book 3
City of Dragons
“Hobb…bears comparison to fantasy star George R. R. Martin: her characters are believable, with even villains and monsters portrayed semi-sympathetically; her settings features starkly mysterious ruins, bone-aching winter rainstorms, colorful crowds of scaly ghosts, and villages built on the branches of giant trees; her story lines are detailed and involving…You’ll be swept deep into them by their marvelous interplay of power, magic, and beauty, and their inhabitants’ appealing stubbornness and bravery.”

New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb returns to world of the Rain Wilds—called “one of the most gripping settings in modern fantasy” (Booklist)—in City of Dragons. Continuing the enthralling journey she began in her acclaimed Dragon Keeper and Dragon Haven, Hobb rejoins a small group of weak, half-formed and unwanted dragons and their displaced human companions as they search for a legendary sanctuary. Now, as the misfit band approaches its final destination, dragons and keepers alike face a challenge so insurmountable that it threatens to render their long, difficult odyssey utterly meaningless. Touching, powerful, and dazzlingly inventive, Hobb’s City of Dragons is not to be missed—further proof that this author belongs alongside Raymond E. Feist, Terry Brooks, and Lois McMaster Bujold in the pantheon of fantasy fiction’s true greats.
