Prepare to be swept away in this breathtaking eBook bundle: SHIP OF MAGIC MAD SHIP SHIP OF DESTINY Bingtown is a hub of exotic trade and home to a merchant nobility famed for its liveshipsโrare vessels carved from wizardwood, which ripens magically into sentient awareness. Now the fortunes of one of Bingtownโs oldest families rest on the newly awakened liveship Vivacia. For Althea Vestrit, the ship is her rightful legacy. For Altheaโs young nephew, wrenched from his religious studies and forced to serve aboard the ship, the Vivacia is a life sentence. But the fate of the shipโand the Vestritsโmay ultimately lie in the hands of an outsider: the ruthless buccaneer captain Kennit, who plans to seize power over the Pirate Isles by capturing a liveship and bending it to his will. Praise for Robin Hobb and the Liveship Traders Trilogy โFantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobbโs books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.โโGeorge R. R. Martin โA truly extraordinary saga . . . The characterizations are consistently superb, and [Hobb] animates everything with love for and knowledge of the sea.โโBooklist โA major work of high fantasy, reading like a cross between Tolkien and Patrick OโBrian . . . one of the finest fantasy sagas to bridge the millennium.โโPublishers Weekly โRich, complex . . . [Hobbโs] plotting is complex but tightly controlled, and her descriptive powers match her excellent visual imagination. But her chief virtue is that she delineates character extremely well.โโInterzone
