Fool's Errand: The Tawny Man Trilogy Book 1 by Robin Hobb - $1.99
Amazon US | Google | Kobo
Quote:
For fifteen years FitzChivalry Farseer has lived in self-imposed exile, assumed to be dead by almost all who once cared about him. But now, into his isolated life, visitors begin to arrive: Fitz’s mentor from his assassin days; a hedge-witch who foresees the return of a long-lost love; and the Fool, the former White Prophet, who beckons Fitz to fulfill his destiny.

Then comes the summons he cannot ignore. Prince Dutiful, the young heir to the Farseer throne, has vanished. Fitz, possessed of magical skills both royal and profane, is the only one who can retrieve him in time for his betrothal ceremony, thus sparing the Six Duchies profound political embarrassment . . . or worse. But even Fitz does not suspect the web of treachery that awaits him—or how his loyalties will be tested to the breaking point.

And, if one prefers Amazon, here's the link. The ebook is also free there:

Free today on Amazon UK- The Worthing Chronicle by Orson Scott Card

Spoiler:
If you would be a God, you must pay the price.


Jason Worthing was a telepath, and the best of the ark captains sent to conquer and seed humankind anew on a hundred new worlds.

He vowed that his new-world would be different from the stagnant one he had fled. He established his colonists and his descendants; and when he was sure that they would survive, he sealed himself in the last somec chamber in all the galaxy, triggered to awaken him when his world had built a new civilization.

But using somec to disturb and manipulate the natural course of life cultivated dangers of its own…

Worthing slept for fifteen thousand years.

And when he awoke from his frozen slumber, it was to a future he had never dreamed of.

Corrupt forces had emerged and a strange form of mind reading had been carried down to other generations.

In a profound tale that spans thousands of years and barren lands, Jason tries to reconcile the past with the present, amidst those who lost their memories entirely and dreams that bring strange, disturbing visions of the past.

It shows as free in search results, but if I click through to the item page I get "This title is not currently available for purchase." It's just a listing for Europeans with US Amazon accounts, I think. As far as I can tell, there's no US e-book of this title, free or otherwise, though it was included in the later The Worthing Saga, which is available at full price.
