GRR Martin meets M.Night Shyamalan: a tale that combines the rich political and cultural landscape of epic fantasy with slow-creeping horrors and mysteries, told from the POV of three minor characters: a run-down mercenary, a merchant, and a seamstress. The trilogy emphasizes their personal quests as they weave through a traditional fantasy plot of heroes old and new, conflict, revenge, and lost kingdoms. At the crux of it all: a creature of legend, a witch's beast, whose possession promises enough power to bring the continent to its knees.

Praised for complex character development and rich, diverse worldbuilding. A must-read for the discerning epic fantasy fan.
