Superb follow up to The Sword of Bedwyr, first volume in the The Crimson Shadow series.
Luthien Bedwyr has come of age. Once an exiled fugitive in his own land, he now heads a rebillion against the dark Wizard-King, Greensparrow. He is also heir to the strange magic of the Crimson Shadow.
Together with Oliver deBurrows, Katerin O’Hale the beautiful rebel, Siobhan the fearless half-elf, and Shuglin the dwarf leader, Luthien has enjoyed a series of triumphs. But the war is far from won. Greensparrow holds the rebels in contempt, and sends his smallest divisions of monster warriors against them. The warriors number in the thousands. The rebels, mainly peasants, are far fewer. Their only hope is the harsh winter they’ve been hardened to, a winter that might strike down the pampered warriors.
But it’s a slim hope, for the warriors of Greensparrow are creatures of the dark. And there is also a grim prophecy: if the King’s forces are defeated, the victory will unleash a hellish demon, one with the might to challenge and defeat the Crimson Shadow...

‘Salvatore describes and choreographs battle scenes better than any other contemporary fantasist’

‘...memorable characters and compelling action’

From the Back Cover
The fortress city of Montfort has been liberated and restored to its true name, Caer MacDonald, but for how long? Luthien Bedwyr and his comrades have no time to celebrate. The humans, elves, and dwarfs of their peasant revolution have captured a city. Their nemesis, the demonic Wizard – King Greensparrow, has conquered most of the world.
To quell the ‘minor riot’ Greensparrow sends the smallest division of his Praetorian Guard: the eleven thousand killer cyclopian warriors vastly outnumber the defenders of Caer MacDonald.
Against such impossible odds Luthien’s only advantage lies in Eriador’s harsh winter; his only chance lies in rousing the fierce tribes of Eriador’s wild countryside to his cause; and his only hope lies in finding the mysterious mage who once helped him recover the legendary sword and capture the Crimson Shadow.
