*io9's New Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books You Need to Put On Your Radar
This Fall
Set in the world of the Sword of Truth saga, the ramifications of New
York Times bestseller Terry Goodkind's Shroud of Eternity extend
throughout all of the Old World as familiar allies, dangerous magic, and
creatures created by twisted sorcery all work at cross purposes to
either save or destroy Ildakar in Siege of Stone
The Sorceress Nicci, the Wizard Nathan Rahl, and the young swordsman
Bannon remain in the legendary city of Ildakar after a great internal
revolt has freed the slaves and brought down the powerful wizards
council. But as he fled the city, capricious Wizard Commander Maxim
dissolved the petrification spell that had turned to stone the invading
army of General Utros fifteen centuries earlier. Now, hundreds of
thousands of half-stone soldiers from the ancient past have awakened,
led by one of the greatest enemy commanders in history.
Nicci, Nathan, and Bannon have to help Ildakar survive this unbreakable
siege, using all the magical defenses of the legendary city. Even as
General Utros holds Ildakar hostage and also unleashes his incredible
army on the unsuspecting Old World, an equally powerful threat arises
out in the sea.
Nicci knows the battle won't remain in the city; if she can't stop this
threat, two invincible armies can sweep across the Old World and destroy
D'Hara itself.
