Robin Hobb is the second pen name of novelist Margaret Astrid Lindholm Ogden (born 1952 in California) who produces primarily fantasy fiction, although she has published some science fiction.

From 1983–1992 she wrote exclusively under the pseudonym Megan Lindholm. Fiction under the Megan Lindholm pseudonym tends to be contemporary fantasy. In 1995, she began use of a second pseudonym, Robin Hobb for works of epic traditional fantasy. She currently publishes under both names. The author's work is distinguished by its well-nuanced characters and credible plotting. She currently lives in Tacoma, Washington.

[edit] The Farseer Trilogy

The Farseer Trilogy follows the life of FitzChivalry Farseer (Fitz), a royal bastard and trained assassin, in a kingdom called The Six Duchies while his uncle, Prince Verity, attempts to wage war on the Red-Ship Raiders from The OutIslands who are attacking the shores of the kingdom.

[edit] The Liveship Traders Trilogy

The Liveship Traders Trilogy mainly takes place southwest of The Six Duchies in Bingtown (a colony of Jamaillia) and focuses on Liveships (sentient ships). The trilogy is unusually nautical — an area seldom covered in fantasy - with the germ of it being apparently the idea of portraying ships whose figureheads are literally alive and sentient. While this trilogy does not follow FitzChivalry Farseer's life, it is linked to both the Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies through The Fool and other events.

[edit] The Tawny Man

The Tawny Man continues the life of FitzChivalry Farseer from The Farseer Trilogy. It commences 15 years after the events in Assassin's Quest, a period covered by The Liveship Traders Trilogy. It focuses on The Fool's attempts to guide others to fulfill his prophecies.

[edit] Soldier Son Trilogy

Set in a new world unrelated to her previous trilogies, the Soldier Son Trilogy follows the life of Nevare Burvelle, the second son of a newly elevated Lord of the Kingdom of Gernia, and his preparation for and education at the King's Cavalla Academy.
