Aglirta is known as the Kingless Land. Once a prosperous and peaceful river valley, it has fallen into lawlessness and its feuding baronies are engaged in a constant state of war. But the land is kingless no more, for the Sleeping Kind of legend, King Kelgrael, has been reawakened by the efforts of the valiant Bank of Four:• Hawkril, a bold, brave warrior of great strength and quiet humor• Craer, a sarcastic, clever thief• Sarasper, an old, wise healer with a monstrous secret of his own• Lady Embra Silvertree, a powerful sorceress and Baroness of the Realm, famous as 'the Lady of Jewels'Yet peace has not returned. In THE KINGLESS LAND, high magic and wizard kings stood in the way, while in THE VACANT THRONE, civil wars and backstabbing barons resisted the restoration of order.Now a powerful warlord comes to the front to take control through military might, while the diabolic minions of the Serpent move into position for a climactic battle that will scar the Band of Four forever.

| "Greenwood's nimble fingers hurtle through castles and stone hallways: a rousing return."— KIRKUS REVIEW (February 1, 2002)"The warrior Hawkril, the thief Craer, the healer-wizard Sarasper and the sorceress Lady Embra Silvertree continue to entertain as well-drawn, if sometimes slightly tongue-in-cheek, archetypes...As the stakes rise, the Four rapidly lose their sense of humor and the action becomes genuinely gripping, as well as fast and bloody...Game-oriented fantasy fans and new converts to the genre through the film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring should be satisfied."—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (February 25, 2002)"Best known as the creator of the Forgotten Realms, the Dungeons and Dragons-basic heroic fantasy series, Greenwood continues to give his audience exactly what they want- [a] fast, furious read."— PUBLISHERS WEEKLY"Ed Greenwood is a master of fantasy adventure world-building. His magic and wizardry are wondrous to all."— Margaret Weis"A new series, a new land, and a band of adventurers we can root for—it's got everything a fantasy fan could ask for and more. Much more."—SF SITE |
