Crown Duel
|
| | | Young Countess Meliara swears to her dying father that she and her father will defend their people from the greedy king. But their promise soon leads them into a war. This edition combines the hardcover editions of "Crown Duel" and "Court Duel, " and features a never-before-published story by Smith.
Annotation:
As their father, a displaced king, dies, Meliara and her older brother, Branaric, swear that they will protect the people of the kingdom from the evil usurper-king. In order to completely fill their promise, they must also protect the forest where the magical Hill Folk live because, if the forests are destroyed, the Hill Folk will also die. Will Meliara and Branaric be able to uphold the promise they made to their father?

"Smith's lush descriptions evoke a fantastic yet credible world, were magic spells and enchanted stones are everyday facts of life." 04/15/1997Locus
"It's a relatively subtle but effective use of magic that adds piquant flavor to action both entertaining and intriguing, in that nothing goes as easily as it usually does in such tales--leaving me curious to know what will happen in the second part." - Carolyn Cushman June 1997 |
