From New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore, the
legendary creator of Drizzt Do'Urden, comes Child of a Mad God, the
first novel in the epic fantasy series, The Coven.
When Aoleyn loses her parents, she is left to fend for herself among a
tribe of vicious barbarians. Bound by rigid traditions, she dreams of
escaping to the world beyond her mountain home.
The only hope for achieving the kind of freedom she searches for is to
learn how to wield the mysterious power used by the tribe's coven known
as the Song of Usgar. Thankfully, Aoleyn may be the strongest witch to
have ever lived, but magic comes at price. Not only has her abilities
caught the eye of the brutish warlord that leads the tribe, but the
demon of the mountain hunts all who wield the Coven's power, and
Aoleyn's talent has made her a beacon in the night.
