About this product

Product Information

The first book in a two part series from one of the greatest writers in the fantasy genre. Dragon Keeper returns fans to Hobb's best-loved world, full of dragons, magical ships and unforgettable characters. Guided by the great blue dragon Tintaglia, they came from the sea: a Tangle of serpents fighting their way up the Rain Wilds River, the first to make the perilous journey to the cocooning grounds in generations. Many have died along the way. With its acid waters and impenetrable forest, it is a hard place for any to survive. People are changed by the Rain Wilds, subtly or otherwise. One such is Thymara. Born with black claws and other aberrations, she should have been exposed at birth. But her father saved her and her mother has never forgiven him. Like everyone else, Thymara is fascinated by the return of dragons: it is as if they symbolise the return of hope to their war-torn world. Leftrin, captain of the liveship Tarman, also has an interest in the hatching; as does Bingtown newlywed, Alise Finbok, who has made it her life's work to study all there is to know of dragons. But the creatures which emerge from the cocoons are a travesty of the powerful, shining dragons of old. Stunted and deformed, they cannot fly; some seem witless and bestial. Soon, they become a danger and a burden to the Rain Wilders: something must be done. The dragons claim an ancestral memory of a fabled Elderling city far upriver: perhaps there the dragons will find their true home. But Kelsingra appears on no maps and they cannot get there on their own: a band of dragon keepers, hunters and chroniclers must attend them. To be a dragon keeper is a dangerous job: their charges are vicious and unpredictable, and there are many unknown perils on the journey to a city which may not even exist...

  • More good stuff from Hobbs

    Having read all the early Hobbs books, this doesn’t disappoint. Fits and Fool books remain my favourites and I got a bit fed up with the Liveship trader series but this made for quick and easy reading and book 2 seems to be following on nicely. I look forward to completing the series.

  • great book as always by robin hobb cant wait to read part 2 ordering today

    i bought this book as i have read most of robin hobbs other series ie the farseer books but my favourite trilogy was the liveship traders and this follow up has not dissapointed although almost all the main characters are gone or only appear fleetingly (SO FAR). the new characters are just as interesting as the previous ones and there is the odd reference to other books as they are all set in the same world. all in all a great start to the new series

  • robin hobb is a fine novelist - good reading

    top rate book if you like this type of genre, up there with raymond e feist and the other top fantasy writers. i would highly recommend her.
