Magician (Riftwar Saga)
Like a venerable patriarch; Magician stands at the head of a great tribe of fantasy writing. When Raymond Feist's enormous novel was published; critics called it 'the best new fantasy concept in years'; and Feist has refined and explored that concept over a dozen novels. His 'concept' was to bring together two (and later; more) whole; intricately realised fantasy worlds. Midkemia is a Tolkienian realm; a European- Medieval series of kingdoms in which magic is prominent; and where men share the earth with dwarves and elves. Feist's genius was inventing another sword and sorcery realm based more closely on eastern models; the Empire of Tsuranuanni; as vast as Ancient China; as formalised and devoted to the arts of war as a samurai Japan. A magical rift in time-space brings these two worlds clashing together; and the young boy Pug and his soldier friend Tomas are thrown into the ensuing maelstrom of invasion and epic battle; before embarking on a more fundamental magical journey
Silverthorn (Riftwar Saga 2)
The second volume in Raymond E. Feists highly acclaimed epic fantasy Riftwar Saga With the Kingdom of the Isles at peace; Prince Arutha can at last look forward to marrying the Princess Anita in the city of Krondor. But the capital in the west harbours many shadows. When Jimmy the Hand; a young thief in the Guild of Mockers; upsets an assassination attempt on Arutha; a sinister plot is uncovered. As the dead rise and assassins stalk the darkness; Arutha must rally the Kingdom forces swiftly if he is to save his beautiful princess felled by a poisoned arrow on her wedding day; and prevent a madman from destroying Midkemia.
A Darkness at Sethanon: The Triumphant Finale to the Riftwar Saga (Riftwar Saga 3)
