breathtaking volume of Robin Hobb’s
Bingtown Traders trilogy, as a new tide of
glory and terror sweeps forward the story of
the Vestrit clan, their liveship Vivacia,
and all who strive to possess her.
MAD SHIP
As the ancient traditions of Bingtown’s Old Traders are slowly eroding under the cold new order of a corrupt ruler, the Vestrits anxiously await the return of their liveship. And Althea Vestrit, recently returned from a stint aboard the liveship Ophelia, waits even more avidly. Her dream is still to reclaim the Vivacia as her lost inheritance and captain her on the high seas. But Captain Kennit is not about to relinquish his greatest prize, and when news reaches the Vestrits of Vivacia’s capture, it is a crushing blow. Their finances are in decline, and now their last hope is gone. Without the support of the other Old Traders, it is up to Althea and her onetime sea mate and lover Brashen to liberate the liveship. There is only one problem: their plan may ultimately prove more dangerous than leaving her in Kennit’s ambitious grasp. . . .
