FANTASY:  Two years ago, David Drake launched his colorful, epic fantasy saga with Lord of the Isles. "Lord of the Isles has it all, said L. E. Modesitt, Jr. "Treacherous queens, faithful and faithless courtiers, peasants and shepherds who are more than they seem, wizardry fair and most foul, quests, love beyond the grave, and all manner of despicable plotting and unabashed heroics. . .a fast-reading and complex fantasy adventure."

The towering fantasy epic continued in last year's Queen of Demons: "The world building and characterization are among Drake's best, and the magic is well thought out. Drake clearly has embarked on a fantasy saga as big as Edding's, Jordan's, and Goodkind's, and as eminently worth reading," said Booklist.

Now, Servant of the Dragon carries on the bestselling saga of The Lord of the Isles. The rich and colorful journeys of Cashel and Sharina, Garric and Ilna throughout the many kingdoms of the Isles continue as Sharina is snatched back through time by the spirit of a wizard in the form of a giant bird. Can she be saved?
