While Fitz watches the sheep flock, the rest of the caravan members gather. We meet Starling the minstrel for the first time as they travel towards Blue Lake and the Mountain Kingdom. We also feel the echoes of FitzChivalry's intense loneliness and feel the surge of hope for the future when he learns of Molly giving birth to their daughter. 

We're reading Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb, book 3 of the Farseer Trilogy in The Realm of the Elderlings
