"Thrilling... Durham's new world---like our old one---is crawling with wickedly fascinating [characters]." ---Entertainment Weekly
Raised by the man who ousted her father from the throne, Corinn has fought her way to the rulership of the Known World and now seeks to expand her territory. Her brother Dariel travels on an exploratory mission to the Other Lands, discovering a heretofore unknown threat to his home, while warrior sister Mena fights monsters for a queen she does not truly believe in. Durham continues the epic fantasy begun in Acacia: The War with the Mein. Verdict This should appeal especially to fans of large-scale, multigenerational epic fantasy in the style of George R.R. Martin and David Drake. Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
