The Farseer Trilogy : Book One
From Library Journal:
"As a royal bastard in the household of King Shrewd, a boy called "Fitz" spends his early years in the king's stables. When the magic in his blood marks him for destiny, he begins receiving secret instruction, by order of the king, in the art of assassination, a calling that places him in the midst of a nest of intrigue and arcane maneuverings. Firmly grounded in the trappings of high fantasy, Hobb's first novel features a protagonist whose coming of age revolves around the discovery of the meaning of loyalty and trust."

It's been quite a while since I've read a straight fantasy such as this and I did enjoy it very much. A very worthy debut, imaginative and well executed. Took me a little while to get into the story, but very soon I was hooked. Looking forward to the next.
Now to find the book a lovely new home.
Update November 2018:
Sat in the OZ VBB for quite a while without being chosen (they don't know what they're missing out on!) so I guess now ready for wild release.
