Shadowmarch Volume II
by Tad Williams
Just a year ago, all seemed well in the March Kingdoms: Peace reigned in the land; the Eddon family ruled securely; and court and commoners alike were thriving. Then, as suddenly as a stroke of lightning, the royal family is shattered; King Olin captured and carted far away; his rightful heir Kendrick struck down; and his two siblings left frantic and on the run, barely escaping with their own lives.
"Though the pace lags at times, bestseller Williams once again delivers a sweeping spellbinder full of mystical wonder." - PW.
"A page-turner. Packed with intriguing plot twists... The author's richly detailed world will enchant established fans and win new converts." - Booklist.
