WAR WITHIN

Donaldson returns to the word of his Great God's War fantasy epic as two kingdoms, with their alliance failing, prepare to be challenged by a merciless enemy. It has been 20 years since Prince Bifalt of Belleger discovered the Last Repository and the sorcerous knowledge hidden there and brought peace to the kingdoms of Belleger and Amika. Founded upon the uneasy marriage between Bifalt and Estie, the crown princess of Amika, they now fear a new war is soon to begin. An ancient enemy has discovered the location of the Last Repository. Dark forces are massing and making their way to the library to seize the magical knowledge it guards. That horde will slaughter every man, woman and child in its path to get what it desires and destroy both Belleger and Amika along the way. They must beat the odds and unite their people and fight back against this terrible foe despite the alliance undermined by lingering hostility and old feuds and conspiracies threatening. Parallels will be found in this wonderful style of Donaldson's writing with his Covenant novels. Military scifi at its best, 564pp in huge softback.
