Online bookseller Amazon has made fantasy master Robin Hobb’s new book Dragon Haven available for pre-order (UK). The book is the next in Hobb’s series The Rain Wild Chronicles, which follows on from her Liveship Traders series (itself a part of her larger Realm of the Elderlings saga that was initiated with Assassin’s Apprentice.
The publisher’s web site gives the following blurb for the book:
Return to the world of the Liveships Traders and journey along the Rain Wild River in the second instalment of high adventure from the author of the internationally acclaimed Farseer trilogy.
The motley band of deformed dragons and Rain Wilders continue their journey upriver towards the ancient city of Kelsingra – if it even exists – but whilst the humans are becoming used to, and more adept at controlling their dragon charges, they are completely unprepared for the discovery that the dragons are irrevocably changing them the closer they become…
Amazon has the book listed as shipping in the US from May 11, 2010, a little later than the previous March date which Hobb’s publisher had listed. However sometimes Hobb’s books ship later in the US than in other locations such as the UK and Australia.
