A spirited blacksmith's daughter accused of using the dark and terrifying sleth magic.
The young man who hunts her.
And the ferocious monster who only wants to be free.
Trapped in a web of lies and ancient secrets, of right becoming wrong, the three must struggle not only against each other, but also a being of irresistible powers, a creature who is gathering her servants to usher in the impending human harvest.
If the three succeed, they will save those they love the most. If they fail, the clans of the land fall with them.
Thus begins the towering fantasy series that introduces an elaborate new world, a multifaceted system of magic, and a cast of compelling characters and creatures.
REVIEWS
~~"Servant delivers solid pacing, a great setting, and a smart story that breaks away from genre conventions."
~ BRANDON SANDERSON, New York Times best-selling author
"Engrossing debut . . . Readers will be rewarded with a thoroughly enjoyable fantasy adventure."
~ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"A book that copies nothing I have read before and which goes its own way brilliantly."
~DAVID DRAKE, Author of the popular Hammer's Slammers and Lord of Isles series
"Engrossed enough to pound through this novel in a couple of sittings."
~ LARRY CORRIEA, New York Times best-selling author
"A provocative, suspenseful beginning of a new series."
~ BOOKLIST
"A welcome addition to large-scale fantasy."
~ LIBRARY JOURNAL (Starred Review!)
"Thoroughly engrossing from the first page to the last!"
~ DAVID FARLAND, New York Times best-selling author of Runelords and Ravenspell series
"I will say, in utter candor, that Servant is a work that truly stands out from other fantasy books on the market. What makes this book work so well is that it's a story about family first, and a fantasy adventure second."
~ ORSON SCOTT CARD'S INTERGALACTIC MEDICINE SHOW
"Like another reviewer, I picked up this book with reluctance, but by the third chapter I found myself completely under its spell."
~ CACHE MAGAZINE
"There are moments of cliffhanger suspense and scenes of tender compassion. Terrible things happen, but powerful good rises to meet the challenge, though this is no "and they all lived happily ever after" kind of story. Face it, a fantasy novel that pulled me in so thoroughly, has to be good."
