Book Description:
Two thousand years ago, the Born Queen defeated the Skasloi lords, freeing humans from the bitter yoke of slavery. But now monstrous creatures roam the land—and destinies become inextricably entangled in a drama of power and seduction. The king’s woodsman, a rebellious girl, a young priest, a roguish adventurer, and a young man made suddenly into a knight—all face malevolent forces that shake the foundations of the kingdom, even as the Briar King, legendary harbinger of death, awakens from his slumber. At the heart of this many-layered tale is Anne Dare, youngest daughter of the royal family . . . upon whom the fate of her world may depend.

This book jumps around a lot but once you start following all the players, it is a very good story. I will continue to follow this series.

Trevor N. (In an age when fantasy writers start ambitious series and trail off into silence (I'm looking at George R.R. Martin here), Greg Keyes should be commended for his ability to execute fantasy series that have wonderful scope and actually come to a conclusion. If you like the Song of Fire and Ice series and you are sick of waiting for it to end, try out an author that knows where he's going. Keyes' world is complex and interesting, and the fantasy here is down and dirty, all the blood and sex and nasty magic you could want. Check it out.
this a hardcover book, is this a problem? It is a very good book. I enjoyed it very much.
