The author of Magic Casement returns to the fantastical world of
Pandemia: "The series bears resemblance to Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy"
(Fantasy Book Review).
When Queen Inos was abducted through the magic casement and her friend,
the stableboy Rap, tried to follow her, they arrived in places very
strange--and very far apart . . .
Inos finds herself in the country of Zark, captured by a powerful
sorceress who rules over the desert land with a brutal magic.
Meanwhile, Rap and his companions wind up in Faerie. Desperate to find
Inos, he'll try anything, even though witches and warlocks abound--and
trustworthy allies are hard to find. One, though, a sea captain, hires
Rap as part of his crew, and they embark on a journey that could take
him farther away from Inos--and deeper into a dangerous adventure . . .
"If it's traditional fantasy adventure with a bit of nudge-nudge
wink-wink you're after, Dave Duncan is your go-to guy. "--SFReviews.net
"Duncan takes all the trusted fantasy ingredients, meticulously prepares
them and brings them together with skill and relish. . . . The series
bears resemblance to Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy." --Fantasy Book
Review
"Duncan's unique concept of goblins, fauns, and imps adds a new twist to
this imaginative fantasy adventure. Recommended." --Library Journal
