Valisar Trilogy

From out of the East they came riding like a merciless plague-destroying kingdom after kingdom and the sovereigns who had previously mocked the warlord Loethar and his barbarian horde. Now only one land remains unconquered-the largest, richest, and most powerful realm of the Denova Set... Penraven. The Valisar royals of Penraven face certain death, for the savage tyrant Loethar covets what they alone possess: the fabled Valisar Enchantment, an irresistible power to coerce, which will belong to Loethar once every Valisar has been slain. But the last hope of the besieged kingdom is being sent in secret from his doomed home, in the company of a single warrior. The future of Penraven now rests on the shoulders of the young Crown Prince Leonel who, though untried and untested in the ways of war, must survive brutality and treachery in order to claim the Valisar throne.

"Two words on the cover-Fiona McIntosh-always let me know I'm in for a good read." Robin Hobb Fiona McIntosh is a new "Big Name" in Epic fantasy-and now she continues her remarkable Valisar Trilogy with Tyrant's Blood, a breathtaking tale of heritage, vengeance, and destiny that returns readers to the world of violence and intrigue she introduced in Royal Exile. The story of the last remaining Valisar prince who must avenge the craven slaughter of his entire family, Tyrant's Blood delivers on the promise of McIntosh's earlier works-from Myrren's Gift through the exceptional Percheron Saga. Tyrant's Blood is another action packed treat for anyone who loves adventuring in Raymond E. Feist's Midkemia or thrills to the dangerous wonders alive in the fantasy of Sara Douglass.

In King's Wrath, the epic power struggle of the Valisar royal family continues with friends turning to enemies and new alliances forming in one final furious battle for control of a powerful hereditary enchantment. One of the most exciting of the new generation of fantasists-the author of the popular epic fantasy series The Percheron Saga and The Quickening-McIntosh has reached bold new heights with her Valisar Trilogy and especially King's Wrath.
