| Details: |
This fantasy epic is the first volume in the Kingdom of Thorn and Bone series. Two thousand years ago, Queen Virginia Dare and her people (who came from a mysterious land, also called Virginia) freed the humans from their enslavers, the magic-wielding, near-immortal Skasloi. But to do so, Queen Virginia used a dangerous form of magic, and the remaining Skasloi lord warned that humans would one day pay a price for that use. Today, Queen Virginia's descendants rule the kingdom of Crotheny, but that unbroken line may be at an end: an assassination plot threatens the royal family, the words of a prophecy begin to come true, and an ancient evil wakes in the forest. |
