With The Hadrumal Crisis, Juliet
E. McKenna reinvented the magical world she created for Solaris. Now she brings
the latest saga of wizards, wonder, and war to a thundering climax with Defiant
Peaks.
Archmage Planir and the wizards of Hadrumal have demonstrated their devastating
powers and the corsair threat is no more. But the mainland rulers' relief is
overshadowed with fear of one day facing such a threat to their own dominion.
Corrain, Baron Halferan and Lady Zurenne believe they have finally won respite
from all their trials. Yet the lull before winter descends from the distant
northern peaks will be a short one.
Now is the perfect time to read the whole trilogy – one filled with pirates,
politics, wizards, and adventure, which confirms McKenna’s place amongst the
pantheon of top fantasy writers with a thrilling reinvention of the genre.
The prequel for the series, The
Wizard’s Coming, is available as a free eBook (free to download as an ePub, PDF and Kindle) and introduces some of the characters and events leading up to this
stunning fantasy series from a major voice in fantasy writing.
Other books in the series
The Archmage of Hadrumal enforces
the Edicts of the Council of Wizardry as all his predecessors have done.
Foremost is the ban on magecraft in warfare.
But old certainties have been shaken. There is rumour of
rogue wizardry in Lescar’s recent civil war and corsairs raid the Caladhrian
Coast. In Hadrumal, Archmage Planir waits and watches, keeping his own counsel.
That doesn’t suit the Masters and Mistresses of the Elements. There are too
many whispers and doubts about Planir’s judgement lately, in Hadrumal and on
the mainland.
Written to be accessible to readers coming fresh to McKenna’s
magical world, The Hadrumal Crisis is
a powerful epic filled with incredible characters.
