There they must fufil the Narcheska's challenges: to lay the head of the dragon Icefyre, whom legends tell is buried there deep beneath the ice, upon her hearth. Only then can their marriage proceed, and put an end to war between the two kingdoms. -- back cover.

Fifteen years have passed since the end of the Red Ship War with the terrifuing Outislanders. Since then, Fitz has wandered the world accompanied only by his wolf Wit-partner, Nighteyes, finally settling in a tiny cottage as remote from Buckkeep and the Farseers as possible. But lately the world has come crashing in again. The Witted are being pesecuted becasuse of their magical bonds with animals, and young Prince Dutiful has gone missing just before his crucial diplomatic wedding to an Outislander princess. Fitz's assignment to fetch Dutifuil back in time for the ceremony seems very much like a fool's errand, but the dangers ahead could signal the end of the Farseer reign. -- back cover.
