The Dragon Keeper is a book that I have just finished reading and is the first book in the series that is called The Rain Wild Chronicles that Robin Hobb wrote, and is published by Harper Voyager which is an imprint of Harper Collins Publishers. Also this book’s ISBN number is 978 0 00 727376 8 and this book follows the events of quite a few people such as the keeper of the birds, and then the book also tells us about Alise Kincarron’s marriage to Hest Finbok which isn’t a marriage at all.

As Alise soon discovers that Hest is quite a cruel person. However the marriage to Hest had allowed her to purchase items so that she could continue educating herself about dragons and elderlings. As he is one of the Bingtown Traders, and Hest and Alise had both signed an agreement in their marriage vows that Alise could go to the place called The Rain Wilds, as there are deformed dragons there that the locals look after as that was what they had agreed to do. Alise also wants to go to The Rain Wilds so that she could study them and continue with her self education.

But the dragons wasn’t what people expected, as they never expected them to be deformed though they did think that the dragons would not be so dependent of them. And then as Alise Kincarron Finbok is travelling to get to where the dragons are she discovers that they are to be moved to a place that perhaps many of the people there haven’t heard of and this place that the dragons dream of is called Kelsingra.

Also Alise finds that she can make rather independent decisions, and discovering this fact about Alise upsets Sedric who is her chaperone when he found out that she had signed a contract to help move the dragons as the council discovers that she was useful for them as being a scholar she let them know that she knew quite a bit about Kelsingra from her collection of scrolls. Sedric also makes it clear to everyone that he is very keen to get back to Bingtown but he has plans of his own too, and after Alise had told him the truth about Hest we also discovered what sort of relationship he has with Hest too, as Sedric isn’t just Hest’s secretary.

 And then after Sedric had listened, and spoken to Alise he then returned back to the privacy of his room and thinks about how his relationship with Hest had started.
