The Six Kingdoms


Book Description

Kings are sometimes crowned into greatness, wealth, and peace. However, for Prince John, this was not the case. Decisions regarding allies come quick. Invasion is on the rise and usurping is foreshadowing. A neighboring kingdom split by sea seeks aide. If getting involved is the answer, it could cause devastation to many families. Although, there are many warriors that have seen battle living in Carraig. The kings of the past were not rulers of always peaceful times. Therefore, the citizens remain ready for anything that may come their way. The younger generation has been raised in the arts of war and many long for it. There are plenty loyal to their beautiful kingdom and would die to defend it. This may not be the course of action that John wants to take. He loves his family and prefers peace and longevity of his people. But he may not have a choice......

Pass on the Cup of Dreams


Book Description

Can a cut-throat reiver escape his nefarious past with the help of the only woman he's ever loved and a promise he never dreamed he'd make? Falca Breks will find out on a journey through a wilderness more dangerous than the squalid city of his birth, toward confrontations with not only enemies past and present but also himself-and the lure of two things that could make him the richest and most powerful man in the Six Kingdoms. "Pass on the Cup of Dreams" quickly immerses the reader in the imaginatively detailed fantasy world of the Six Kingdoms. Fergusson's writing is excellent, the plot relentless, the characters wonderfully complex. If you enjoy gritty, dark fantasy you will find a feast here. -Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling fantasy author Bruce Fergusson's two previous Six Kingdoms novels were a breath of fresh air in the often predictable genre of secondary-world fantasy. He hasn't lost his touch with his latest, "Pass on the Cup of Dreams." It's inventive, quirky and unpredictable-all the things I love in a book. -Charles deLint, World Fantasy Award-winning author
