First Time in Mass Market Paperback. The Long-Awaited Fifth Novel in
the Acclaimed Fantasy Adventure Series.
When Jame returned to Knorth hall to help her brother Torisen name all
the fallen fighters' death banners stored there, she made the disturbing
discovery that those banners splattered with their owners' blood also
have trapped their owners' souls. She also found a contract proving her
cousin Kindrie to be legitimate, proving that there are three
full-blooded Knorth. Three full-blooded Knorth means that the
Three-Faced God can be manifested--something that none of the three are
likely to want to do, if they have any choice in the matter. .
Returning with this unwelcome knowledge to school at Tentir, Jame
continued to dodge the attentions of an unwanted admirer, strengthen her
link to her feline hunting ounce, work with the rathorn colt
Death's-head to insure that it doesn't resume its attempts to kill her,
and, of course, kept causing plenty of unintended havoc. She also had to
help fight off attacks from hillmen, repel a stampede of yarkcarn (think
warthogs the size of mammoths), fight in the Winter War (a mock
conflict--or, at least, that's how it was supposed to be), and solve
the mystery behind the death of her evil uncle, who somehow is still
spectrally manifesting himself in nasty ways.
No doubt about it--Jame is back, and with a vengeance, as the popular
and critically-praised fantasy adventure series continues.
"P.C. Hodgell writes the most strikingly weird and wonderful stories in
epic fantasy today."--Charles Stross
"Hodgell has crafted an excellent and intricate fantasy with humor and
tragedy, and a capable and charming female hero. Highly recommended."
--Library Journal
