One of the greatest talents writing today, Kevin J. Anderson is a master of adventures that are filled with dynamic, unforgettable characters."" --Sherrilyn Kenyon ""A fast-paced, enjoyable read.

Salvatore ""Just what fantasy readers lust after--a complex and intricately detailed universe descending into a war. The details of this exotic world are exquisite.
