Legacy of Kings

Description

"C.S. Friedman makes fantastic things-and frightening things-seem very real." –New York Times bestselling author Tad Williams.

The young peasant woman Kamala has proven strong and determined enough to claim the most powerful Magister sorcery for herself-but now the Magisters hunt her for killing one of their own. Her only hope of survival lies in the northern Protectorates, where spells are warped by a curse called the Wrath that even the Magisters fear. Originally intended to protect the lands of men from creatures known only as souleaters, the Wrath appears to be weakening-and the threat of this ancient enemy is once more falling across the land.

"C.S. Friedman makes fantastic things — and frightening things — seem very real." — New York Times bestselling author Tad Williams

"A John W. Campbell Award finalist, Friedman shows herself equally adept at both sf and fantasy with a story that is sure to please her many fans." — Library Journal, Starred Review

"Friedman not only delivered, she hit this one right out of the park. Hands down, Legacy of Kings is definitely one of the best speculative fiction titles of the year! … While everyone is taking about Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, and many others, C. S. Friedman wrote one of the very best — and perhaps the best — fantasy series of the new millennium." — Pat’s Fantasy HotlistAn acknowledged master of Dark Fantasy, Celia Friedman is a John W.
