About Robin Hobb
Robin Hobb is a confirmed believer not just in research, but in attempting to experience the things she is writing about. When, at the age of ten, she moved with her family from California to Alaska, it shaped her as a writer more than any other experience in her life. In the early stages of her writing career she established herself as an author under the name 'Megan Lindholm', creating such fine works of modern fantasy as Wizard of the Pigeons, Harpy's Flight, The Windsingers, and The Reindeer People. In 1992 she decided to embark upon something of greater epic scope. To mirror that change, she chose a new name, 'Robin Hobb' under which she has, to the present day, written three trilogies: the Farseer, Liveship Traders and Tawny Man trilogies. She is Voyager's fastest-selling author in backlist and has now sold over 1 million copies of her paperbacks. Her last hardback - Fool's Fate - spent several weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list. Robin is currently living in Tacoma, Washington where she is writing the third part of the 'Soldier Son' trilogy.

Myrren's Gift (2005)

The Magicians and Mrs. Quent
The Magicians and Mrs. Quent (2008)
Galen Beckett
"A charming and mannered fantasy confection with a darker core of gothic romance wrapped around a mystery. Fans of any of these will enjoy it. Readers who enjoy all these genres will find it a banquet."
