Description: Praise for the Inda series: "Smith deftly stage-manages the wide-ranging plots with brisk pacing, spare yet complex characterizations, and a narrative that balances sweeping action and uneasy intimacy." -- Publishers Weekly "Pirates and plotters fill this swashbuckling sequel to Inda .... It's full of action, adventure, and delightful larger-than-life characters ." -- Locus "All of the characters spring to life.... Smith's rich details and imagery tie this story together . Complex and compelling." -- San Jose Mercury News "Smith should rank high on any list of military writers.... A first-rate author boldly at play ." --SF Signal " Everything you want from a fantasy series --an interesting, fully developed world with several languages, environments, and cultures, a complex but not confusing plotline with a number of unexpected twists, really well-written action scenes, and above all, characters whose lives you follow and whose fates you care about." --Diana L. Paxson, bestselling author of Sword of Avalon "[The] beautifully structured Inda series [comes] to a resounding conclusion." -- Strange Horizons "The complexity and depth and inventiveness that mark a first-rate fantasy novel .... This is the mark of a major work of fiction.... You owe it to yourself to read Inda ." --Orson Scott Card
