Golden Fool

The throne of the Six Duchies again needs the services of the royal bastard—an able student of an assassin and one of the few who can wield the ancient magic of the Seeing. The engagement of the heir to the throne hangs by a thread; rebel Half-Bloods still threaten to expose the secret of the royal house; uprisings are brewing in the country; envoys from faraway Bingtown ask for military help in the war with Chalced.

Someone must teach the prince how to use the magic of the Seeing, build for him a detachment of magicians that will support the heir at the decisive moment.

Someone must.

The jester, Fitz’s old friend, and the White Prophet believes that only one person can carry this burden—Fitz Chival the Seeing.
