A Kingdom Besieged

Meer over het boek

After nearly thirty years and more than two dozen novels, Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar Cycle has become a cornerstone of modern fantasy. The saga includes epic confrontations between Good and Evil, with lasting impacts across generations. The latest installment introduces the Chaoswar, a magical apocalypse threatening the Kingdom like never before. Years ago, the Empire of Great Kesh attempted to conquer Krondor but was thwarted by the sorcerer Pug and the Conclave of Shadows. This failure ushered in a period of peace, but now ominous signs of war are emerging. From the Far Coast to the Eastern Kingdoms, rumors and political instability abound. Spies have gone missing, some murdered or turned traitor, while factions rise and Keshian legions mobilize for an imminent attack on the Isles and Roldem. As the Western Realm prepares for defense, Martin conDoin, the middle son of Lord Henry, Duke of Crydee, must lead a ragtag group of defenders against the invaders, echoing the bravery of his ancestor, Prince Arutha. With Kesh's forces descending, danger looms for everyone—from seasoned masters of intrigue to untested young warriors. Even Pug, the most powerful magician, faces a new evil that challenges everything he holds dear, including the loyalty of his son, Magnus.
