A poisoned bolt has struck down the Princess Anita on the day of her
wedding to Prince Arutha of Krondor.
To save his beloved, Arutha sets out in search of the mytics herb called
Silverthorn that only grows in the dark and forbidding land of the
Spellweavers.
Accompanied by a mercenary, a minstrel, and a clever young thief, he wil
confront an ancient evil and do battle with the dark powers that
threaten the enchanted realm of Midkemia.
"I found "Silverthorn" to be as exciting and absorbing as "Magician" in
every way. The excellent characterization wedded to a tight and
well-tumed plot makes it one of the outstanding fantasy offerings of the
season." --Andre Norton
