Ship of magic - robin hobb

The first book in a seafaring fantasy trilogy that George R.

Martin has described as even better than the Farseer Trilogy--I didnt think that was possible.

Now in a glorious new edition! Bingtown is a hub of exotic trade and home to a merchant nobility famed for its liveships--rare vessels carved from wizardwood, which ripens magically into sentient awareness.

Now the fortunes of one of Bingtowns oldest families rest on the newly awakened liveship Vivacia .

For Althea Vestrit, the ship is her rightful legacy.

For Altheas young nephew, wrenched from his religious studies and forced to serve aboard the Vivacia, the ship is a life sentence.

But the fate of the ship--and the Vestrits--may 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.

Dont miss the magic of the Liveship Traders Trilogy: SHIP OF MAGIC - MAD SHIP - SHIP OF DESTINY.
