About this listen
Internationally-bestselling, critically-acclaimed author Robin Hobb takes readers deep into the history behind the Farseer series in this exclusive, new novella.
One of the darkest legends in the Realm of the Elderlings recounts the tale of the so-called Piebald Prince, a Witted pretender to the throne unseated by the actions of brave nobles so that the Farseer line could continue untainted. Now the truth behind the story is revealed through the account of Felicity, a low-born companion of the Princess Caution at Buckkeep.
With Felicity by her side, Caution grows into a headstrong Queen-in-Waiting. But when Caution gives birth to a bastard son who shares the piebald markings of his father s horse, Felicity is the one who raises him. And as the prince comes to power, political intrigue sparks dangerous whispers about the Wit that will change the kingdom forever…
In her trademark style, Hobb offers a revealing exploration of a family secret still reverberating generations later when assassin FitzChivalry Farseer comes onto the scene. Fans will not want to miss these tantalizing new insights into a much-beloved world and its unforgettable characters.

“Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers…what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics.” (The Times)
“Robin Hobb writes achingly well” (SFX)
”Hobb is a remarkable storyteller.” (Guardian)

Robin Hobb never disappoints!
I would recommend this book whole heartedly. Short and sweet, it answers some key questions from the Farseer and Fool's trilogies.

A bit short
Too short compared to the others or maybe the last one of the series that made me realised it has ended and there are no more … hard realisation to come by after all these amazing books

Wonderful listen
A wonderful back story of the Piebald Prince narrated in a beautiful melodic tone that is hypnotising and compelling. A beautiful tale told
True in only the way Robin Hobb can. Bravo

A great short story
Another excellent story from Robin Hobb. Shorter than the other books, and self contained. I'm not sure if it's set before or after the other books, but it didn't stop me enjoying it.

Great little story of the Farseers.
I revisited "The Wilful Princess" via Audible. It's a must-read if you're a devotee of Hobb, though it's not necessary in order to complete the wonderful "Fitz" books. Beautifully read.

Was OK....
Wish I had seen that it was only 3hrs long for 1 credit, as although the story was OK am not sure it was worth that tbh
