Buckkeep by John Howe

Buckkeep is the coastal castle in the Buck Duchy near the mouth of the Buck River and home to the royal court of the Farseers. The original wooden keep was captured and fortified by Taker, and the following generations rebuilt it with stone and added more structures, creating layers of labyrinths within the walls. Since Taker came, the fort has never been taken by outsiders.
