Description: "Bold, brutal, and making no compromises-Morgan doesn't so much twist the clichs of fantasy as take an axe to them."-Joe Abercrombie "The award-winning author of Altered Carbon and Market Forces brings the same iconoclastic approach to his fantasy debut as he did to his sf technothrillers. . . . [Richard K.] Morgan's storytelling talent and his atmospheric, hard-hitting prose make this a strong addition to mature fantasy collections."-Library Journal "Spellbinding . . . There's so much to like about the adventure."-Star-Ledger "Morgan has taken traditional sword and sorcery tropes and given them a hard, contemporary kick. The antithesis of the cosy fairytale, this one is for big boys."-Times, London "[A] dark, gritty tale . . . The well-developed characters and realistic battle scenes ring true."-Publishers Weekly From the Hardcover edition.
