Ship of Magic (The Liveship Traders, Book 1)

Ship of Magic (The Liveship Traders, Book 1)

â€œA truly extraordinary saga . . . The characterizations are consistently superb, and [Hobb] animates everything with love for and knowledge of the sea.â€â€”Booklist

Bingtown is a hub of exotic trade and home to a merchant nobility famed for its liveshipsâ€”rare vessels carved from wizardwood, which ripens magically into sentient awareness. Now the fortunes of one of Bingtownâ€™s oldest families rest on the newly awakened liveship Vivacia.
Â
For Althea Vestrit, the ship is her rightful legacy. For Altheaâ€™s 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 shipâ€”and the Vestritsâ€”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.

Praise for Robin Hobb and the Liveship Traders Trilogy
Â
â€œFantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobbâ€™s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.â€â€”George R. R. Martin
Â
â€œA major work of high fantasy, reading like a cross between Tolkien and Patrick Oâ€™Brian . . . one of the finest fantasy sagas to bridge the millennium.â€â€”Publishers Weekly
Â
â€œRich, complex . . . [Hobbâ€™s] 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.â€â€”Interzone
