Reviews

'Nobody writes modern fantasy like Eddings or as well! Eddings is at the top with the very best' Vector 'Sparhawk is the best-realized hero in modern fantasy' Daily Telegraph

The Pandion knight Sparhawk and his companions continue their quest for the Bhelliom, the legendary jewel whose power alone can save a dying queen. Eddings's strength lies in his ability to create thoroughly likable heroes with personalities that transcend the formulaic fantasy genre. Graceful prose and judicious humor add style to this excellent addition to fantasy collections. Recommended.
