Synopsis

In the gripping continuation of Robin Hobb's Rain Wilds Chronicles, "City of Dragons" plunges deeper into the perilous journey of the misfit dragons and their human keepers. Having departed from the relative safety of Cassarick, the ailing, half-formed dragons and their ostracized human companions navigate the treacherous, acid-ridden Rain Wilds in search of the legendary Elderling city of Kelsingra. This mythical sanctuary is their last hope for healing and transformation, a place where dragons might reclaim their true heritage and humans might find a purpose beyond mere servitude. As they draw ever closer to their enigmatic destination, the expedition faces escalating dangers – from the unforgiving environment and ancient traps to the complex, often volatile, relationships within their own ranks. With their physical and emotional limits tested, the dragons and their keepers must confront their deepest fears and make impossible choices, knowing that the success or failure of their quest holds monumental implications for their future and the fate of their world.
