The Serpentwar Saga (4) – Shards of a Broken Crown: v. 4 - Tapa dura

A brilliant follow up to Rage of A Demon King, and the fourth volume in Feist’s marvellous Serpentwar Saga.

The demon has been defeated and the Kingdom rejoices as the threat to the existence of every living thing on Midkemia has passed, but out of
the ashes of war new problems arise.

Shards of a Broken Crown, Volume IV of Raymond E. Feist’s Serpentwar Saga, tells the story of the survivors of the great assault on the Kingdom by the hordes of the Emerald Queen. An ambitious General has picked up the fallen reins of command and seeks to build a personal empire out of the wreckage of the Western Realm.

It is up to a handful of committed men and women to oppose him. In the forefront of this conflict stand Jimmy and Dash, grandsons of the legendary Jimmy the Hand, who alongside Erik von Darkmoor and Roo Avery must contest on every hand as rival Empires seek to gain from the Empire loss. While war rages on two borders, mysterious agencies of
dark powers move behind the scenes, from the mountains to the north, to the sewers under the burned-out cities of Krondor.

Pug the Magician and his allies attempt to engage and defeat the dark powers, while a Kingdom struggles to gather together the shattered pieces of their nation and forge a new future.

THE DEMON IS NO MORE

The enemy has been routed, yet peace still eludes the Kingdom. Midkemia lies in smouldering ruins following the Demon King's seige. Many lives have been lost, including that of the brave James, Duke of Krondor.

As the people turn their hands to rebuilding their once great nation, a new threat arises from the ashes of war: the fearsome Fadawah, former Commanding General of the Army of the Emerald Queen. He has grasped the fallen rains of command and seeks to forge a personal empire out of the wreckage of the Western Realm.

And so it falls to two young men – Jimmy and Dash – grandsons of the late Duke, to gather together the shards of the broken crown and resurrect the Kingdom to its former glory.

'Shards of a Broken Crown' – the unforgettable finale to the world-wide bestselling Serpentwar Saga.
