Ship of Magic
Book • 2023
Ship of Magic is set in the coastal community of Bingtown, a hub of exotic trade and home to a merchant nobility famed for its liveships—rare vessels carved from wizardwood that ripen magically into sentient awareness.
The story follows Althea Vestrit, who sees the liveship Vivacia as her rightful legacy, her young nephew Wintrow, forced to serve aboard the ship, and the ruthless pirate captain Kennit, who seeks to capture a liveship to seize power over the Pirate Isles.
The novel explores themes of family, faith, and cultural clashes, with a rich world-building that expands on Hobb's previous works in the Farseer trilogy.
