The Thorn and Bone is among my favorite high-fantasy sagas. Its third value,
The Blood Knight,
will come out tomorrow (July 11, 2006). Like I said, this is an excellent series, and if you are looking for a good summer read, I recommend you start with
the first volume,
The Briar King.
You can download the prologue and the first chapter (both PDF) of
The Blood Knight from Greg Keyes'
official website. I also found this
review very helpful.
