The final instalment of Robin Hobb's best-selling series THE RAIN WILD CHRONICLES. The legendary blue dragon Tintaglia is dying of wounds inflicted by hunters sent by the Duke of Chalced. If Tintaglia perishes, her ancestral memories will die with her. And the dragons in the ancient city of Kelsingra will lose the secret knowledge they need to survive. Danger threatens from beyond the city, too. For war is coming: war between dragonkind and those who would destroy them.
