Shadow of the Winter King (World of Ruin) (Volume 1)
Great fantasy stories are about great characters, who leap into life off the page and make us care about them, and want to know what happens next.The magic swords and sinister castles, the skyships and pirates and dark secrets are just delicious icing on the cake.SHADOW OF THE WINTER KING has all of these, plus witty repartee, web upon tangled web of intrigues, a desperate fight for the future of a darkening world, and a generous handful of  characters I want to meet again, in many sequels to this one.Lovers of fantasy, this one's a new epic.~ Ed Greenwood, Creator of the Forgotten Realms
