A loyal soldier and a wealthy merchant have served bravely in the flames of an enduring war that is ravaging their land. But swords, bows, wits and courage will no longer be enough to defeat the scourge that is descending upon their home. For a foul and terrible thing has escaped from a world already devoured to feed on one consumed by chaos—an insatiable nightmare creature of dark and murderous nature which seeks to own and corrupt the very source of life itself
The final conflict is joined, pitting serpent against man and magician against demon. For those who battle in the cause of good, there will be victory . . . or there will be doom for all.
Things are a bit worse than they seem as the Dark Queen is really a demon in disguise, and a large army is heading Erik's way as he desperately tries to train enough men to do something about it.
Roo is involved in high level economic issues, and even more importantly on the magic front, Pug and Tomas have to find Macros the Black if they are going to have any hope of stopping what is coming to Sethanon and the Lifestone.
Dramatic continuation of the Serpentwar Saga I hadn't read the book in a while, but re-reading the entire saga has lent me a greater appreciation of this brilliant series.
This book picks up from the end of Rise Of A Merchant Prince. Time is running out, as reports indicate that the army of the Emerald Queen from the continent of Novindus will reach the Kingdom in a matter of months. Erik von Darkmoor, formerly on "death row" for the murder of his half brother and now a Sergeant of Calis' Crimson Eagles, a special divison of the Kingdom's armies, works hard to train soldiers and prepare for the coming war.
Before long, 250,000 mercenaries arrive in Krondor, determined to destroy everything in their path in their quest to reach Sethanon. Unbeknownst to them, their leader known as the Emerald Queen had been killed months before, and all are now under the influence of a mighty demon, who wishes to take posession of the Lifestone. In the background, we see a short return of Macros, to aid Pug, Miranda and Nakor in unravelling the mystery behind the reason for the invasion, and the role of the demon.
Feist goes into some lengthy discussions on the structure of the deities and the nature of both magic and the universe. Clearly he has put a lot of thought into the logical structure of things. While it can be somewhat confusing at times to follow, he uses Nakor's impish humour to lighten the load, so we are not completely wallowing in academic discussion.
As always, Feist does an outstanding job in the area of character development, and his battle scenes are second to none. Further, he brings vividly to life the ravages, destruction and heartache caused by such a massive invasion. In short, he brilliantly draws the reader into the horrific nature of medieval warfare, and makes you want to keep reading without stop (I had difficulty putting the book down).
A brilliant book which I highly recommend, but would urge you to read the first two books beforehand (Shadow of a Dark Queen, and Rise of a Merchant Prince) for it to make more sense.
Great Exciting books. I have not reread this one yet, but I remember it from about 5 years ago. RF is a great writer. If you like a good story that keeps you turning the page,choose him. Love the series aspect.
The death of all life or salvation for all By: Trent Volkman
An army from across the sea, a demon king, a war of massive perportions.
This is Fiests third installment of the serpent war saga a 4 book series. It tells the story of Erick Von Darkmoor and his life training the many raw recruits for the special fighting force the crimson eagles. The story of Rupert Avery as he clashes with the mighty merchant Jacob Esterbrook and his seductive daughter Silvia for control over trade to Kesh. This also speaks about the magician Pugs part in this he is combating the mysterious third player Nalar the mad god of evil. My favorite part in this book is when the Marcos the black, magician, fights the demon king Maarg.
The theme of this book could be considered protect your heart don't give it away to anyone unless you know they are the right one for you. As far as I'm concerned this was a good book it had suspense, action, mystery, even a little romance everything a good novel needs.
Outstanding!!!! This book is among many amazing stories that Feist has written. I love how he devolps everything. People need to be patient when they read his books. its not like u can " have an amzing tragic story, and still be homefor dinner " they take time. He doesnt rush his series, which, as long as he delievers like hes done every single time, then thats fine with me.
