The Fitz and the Fool trilogy is listed as a separate author entry in some databases, but it is actually the work of Robin Hobb (the pen name of Margaret Astrid Lindholm Ogden). This trilogy concludes the long story of FitzChivalry Farseer and his enigmatic companion, the Fool, characters Hobb introduced in Assassin’s Apprentice (1995) and developed across multiple trilogies over more than twenty years.
The three books, Fool’s Assassin (2014), Fool’s Quest (2015), and Assassin’s Fate (2017), pick up with Fitz in middle age and draw all the threads of his story to a close. Readers who have followed Fitz from his youth as an unwanted royal bastard through his many trials will find the emotional weight of this conclusion considerable. These are not standalone novels; they are the final movement of a much larger work.
