Praise for Lord of the Isles

“A genre fantasy with more suspense, action, and horror than most â¦ Drake's magic is more complex than fantasy magic, and the dangers of uncontrollable power form an important theme here. His settings and magical creatures provide surprise and drama as well as plenty of color. This substantial fantasy, in which moral and physical threats are serious and the actions of the characters have real consequences, will appeal to those tired of watered-down myth.”

â
Publishers Weekly

“A new fantasy saga that melds the influences of the Arthurian cycle and Robert Jordan. The cast is large and well drawn, the pacing brisk, the world building outstanding. Drake is admirably suited to tackling the demanding saga form.”

â
Booklist

“An intricate first book in a new epic fantasy series.”

â
Library Journal

Praise for David Drake

“David Drake is one of those rare authors who seems capable of switching from one mode of writing to another, hard science to near future political thriller to high fantasy, with a smooth meshing of gears.”

â
Science Fiction Chronicle

“One of the most gifted users of historical and military raw material at work today in science fiction and fantasy.”

â
Chicago Sun-Times

This is a work of fiction. All the characters and events portrayed in this book are either products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously.
