The inhabitants of Getty's town remember seeing the soldier dying, the soldier who was guilty of unspeakable crimes,they watched as others beat him to death. The soldier was Nevare Burve, but he isn't dead, he faced a power much greater than a mere mob, that of Speck magic.

This is stunning conclusion to a series that has grown in strength with each novel. Robin Hobb at her best.
