Synopsis
The second book in the epic saga of The Lord of the IslesIn the world of the Isles, the elemental forces of magic are rising to a thousand-year peak. A small band of companions has set forth across a world in the process of transformation in search of their destinies. Now their epic adventure continues.David Drake's Lord of the Isles is an epic with the texture of the legends of yore, with rousing action and characters to cheer for. TERRY GOODKINDThe world building and characterization here are among Drake's best, and the magic is well thoughtout. Drake clearly has embarked on a fantasy saga as big as Eddings's, Jordan's and Goodkind's and aseminently worth reading. BOOKLISTMore shapely than the original volume, and beguilingly set forth. KIRKUS REVIEWSSome authors are powerful storytellers. Others evoke images that we did not believe existed. When the two are combined you have a powerful writer. Lord of the Isles is a magnificent example of what David Drake can do. GORDON R. DICKSONCover art by Donato Cover design by Carol Russo Design
