Dragon Haven

Dragon Haven plunges deeper into the perilous journey of the ailing, newly hatched dragons and their dedicated, yet deeply flawed, human and 'keeper' companions. Following the initial exodus from Cassarick, the expedition pushes further up the treacherous Rain Wild River, a forgotten and dangerous waterway that promises either salvation or destruction. Led by the irascible dragon Sintara and her keeper Thymara, alongside the scholar Alise and the traumatized Sedric, the group grapples with the harsh realities of the untamed wilderness, the dragons' deteriorating health, and their own changing forms. As the bonds between dragons and keepers grow more intricate and fraught with emotional entanglement, ancient secrets of the Rain Wilds begin to unfurl. The mythical city of Kelsingra, a beacon of hope and an ancestral home, becomes their elusive destination, holding the key to the dragons' full transformation and potentially the keepers' destinies. Hobb masterfully explores themes of identity, survival, sacrifice, and the enduring power of connection in a world teetering on the brink of profound change.
