Zombies. Mutant animals. Bioengineered weapons and surgically enhanced monsters. Secret labs and widespread conspiracies. It seemed impossible, but Kill Valentine and her teammates among the S. T. A. R. S. had seen it all firsthand when the Umbrella Corporation turned Raccoon City into a staging ground for the most insidious genetic experiments ever conceived. After all she's been through, Valentine is ready to leave that remote mountain community forever. But Umbrella isn't finished with Raccoon City. Too much evidence of their unethical and immoral research still exists. It must be recovered or destroyed -- and quickly -- before it can be traced back to Umbrella. And with William Birkin's mutagenic virus already spreading through the city like wildfire, drastic measures are needed. Under cover of night, mercenary teams have entered the city, along with something else -- Umbrella's failsafe: an evolved version of its Tyrant-class killing machines, a lethal creature code-named Nemesis. Now Nemesis is on the hunt. And Jill Valentine is about to become prey

Eli Monpress is talented. He\'s charming. And he\'s a thief.But not just any thief. He\'s the greatest thief of the age - and he\'s also a wizard. And with the help of his partners - a swordsman with the most powerful magic sword in the world but no magical ability of his own, and a demonseed who can step through shadows and punch through walls - he\'s going to put his plan into effect.The first step is to increase the size of the bounty on his head, so he\'ll need to steal some big things. But he\'ll start small for now. He\'ll just steal something that no one will miss - at least for a while.Like a king.

Eli Monpress is brilliant. He\'s incorrigible. And he\'s a thief.He\'s also still at large, which drives Miranda Lyonette crazy.

Eli Monpress is vain. He\'s cocky. And he\'s a thief.But he\'s a thief who has just seen his bounty topped and he\'s not happy about it. The bounty topper, as it turns out, is his best friend, bodyguard, and master swordsman, Josef. Who has been keeping secrets from Eli. Apparently, he\'s the only prince of a rather feisty country and his mother (a formidable queen who\'s every bit as driven and stubborn as he is) wants him to come home and do his duty, which means throwing over personal ambitions like proving he\'s the greatest swordsman who ever lived. Family drama aside, Eli and Josef have their hands full. The Spirit Court has been usurped by the Council of Thrones and someone calling herself the Immortal Empress is staging a massive invasion.

He is treated as an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin.

King Shrewd is dead at the hands of his son Regal. As is Fitz—or so his enemies and friends believe. But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul. The kingdom also teeters toward ruin: Regal has plundered and abandoned the capital, while the rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost to his mad quest—perhaps to death. Only Verity’s return—or the heir his princess carries—can save the Six Duchies.   But Fitz will not wait. Driven by loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill Regal. The journey casts him into deep waters, as he discovers wild currents of magic within him—currents that will either drown him or make him something more than he was.   Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin’s Quest   “Fantasy as it ought to be written . . .
