Bonds of Vengeance: Book 3 of The Winds of the Forelands

Praise for Winds of the Forelands by David B. Coe Coe's world is much more intricate than that of most similar fantasy writers, and he seems to have a deeper grasp than most of the complexities of interhuman relationships. — Science Fiction Chronicle Turmoil and deception propel Coe's second entry in his Winds of the Forelands tetralogy, maintaining the momentum of its predecessor, Rules of Ascension (2002). The author deftly manages a multistrand plot full of political intrigue that never flags despite the wealth of engrossing detail. A large cast of characters both old and new enliven the sword and sorcery. Readers who go for good clean fantasy fun will eagerly await the next installment. — Publishers Weekly on Seeds of Betrayal Mesmerizing, highly readable fantasy. — Booklist on Seeds of Betrayal War and politics, love and magic, all drawn in detail against a vividly imagined feudal background. A complex and excellent book. — David Drake , author of Lord of the Isles One of the things that delights me most when reading fantasy is being shown new worlds—-vivid, fascinating new places to explore, and find new adventures. In Rules of Ascension, David Coe gives us a world to remember, a world we can't help wanting to know more about. I eagerly await other tales of the Forelands! —Ed Greenwood, author of The Band of Four saga This sword and sorcery epic from Coe gathers momentum like a runaway moving van.... After this impressive opening volume, one can only hope Coe will keep up the high standard. — Publishers Weekly on Rules of Ascension Sara Douglass Strong, complex, and emotionally very, very powerful. The nine hundred-year peace in the Forelands is threatened by a conspiracy against the Eandi rulers, forcing the Qirsi ministers to choose between plotting to overthrow Eandi and staying loyal to their lords
