With a career spanning over two decades, Robin Hobb has risen to the top of the fantasy genre globally. Her name, adorning bookshelves everywhere, has become synonymous with compelling, epic fantasy fiction. 

In the early chapter of her career, she established herself as an author under the name ‘Megan Lindholm’. In 1992, she decided to embark on fictional narratives of greater epic scope. To mirror that shift in direction, she chose a new name, ‘Robin Hobb’, under which she has written a stream of bestselling fantasy trilogies, including The Rain Wild Chronicles, Soldier Son Trilogy, The Tawny Man Trilogy, Liveship Traders Trilogy and The Farseer Trilogy. 

In The Inheritance, the short stories of both Robin Hobb and Megan Lindholm are brought together in one superb collection.
