Fool’s Quest – Robin Hobb

Joy and loss for Tom Badgerlock – he finally finds the Fool after years apart, but an attack on Withywoods destroys his sanctuary and sees the kidnap of his small daughter Bee …

… and the Witted Bastard returns from the dead, as Tom / Fitz is finally, formally recognised as Prince FitzChivalry Farseer, cousin of the king and instrumental in the survival and success of the Six Duchies.

Wonderful!
