Years with Duke Phelan’s Company taught her weaponry, discipline, and how to react as part of a military unit. Now, though, Paks feels spurred to a solitary destiny. Against all odds she is accepted as a paladin-candidate by the fellowship of Gird. Years of study will follow, for a paladin must be versed in diplomacy and magic as well as the fighting arts. But before she is fully trained, Paks is called to her first mission: to seek out the fabled stronghold of Luap far to the west. The way is long, the dangers many — and not even the Marshal-General of Gird can say whether glory or ruin awaits. “Full of virtues . . .” — Chicago Sun-Times “This trilogy builds in power and intensity . . . all the sweep and majesty of the finest heroic fantasy . . .” — VOYA
