Liveship Traders trilogy
From PlentyWiki
- Ship of Magic (1998)
- The Mad Ship (1999)
- Ship of Destiny (2000)
The Liveship Traders are set in the same world as the Farseer trilogy and the Tawny Man trilogy, but the events take place in between those two storylines in the Cursed Shores far down south from the Six Duchies. The story is told from the points of view of numerous characters, most prominently the sea serpents, the Vestrits and Kennit. One of the key figures, Amber, is interestingly never given a turn in describing the events even though she is very much connected to all that is happening. The central stage is Bingtown, but much of the events take place on ships, both ordinary and of the liveship kind. The true nature of pirates, traders, family members, slavery, liveships and even sea serpents is brought to light before the trilogy is over.
The short stories Homecoming and The Inheritance are set in the same basic storyline as the Liveship traders trilogy.
