Free Fantasy eBook - Robin Hobb - Shaman’s Crossing
For a ten year celebration of Eos Books (SciFi & Fantasy imprint of Harper Collins Publisher) they have generously decided to give away one of their books every two months this year in ebook form.
This month is the turn of Robin Hobb’s Shaman’s Crossing which you can download in several different formats here. I don’t know much about the book but Robin Hobb is a popular fantasy author so it might be worth a try. If I ever manage to make a dent in my pretty enormous reading list I might try it although I don’t tend to read a great deal of fantasy these days.
Book One of the Soldier Son trilogy, SHAMAN’S CROSSING tells the story of Nevare Burvelle, destined from birth to be a soldier.
The second son of a newly anointed nobleman, he must endure the rigors of military training at the elite King’s Cavella Academy–and survive the hatred, cruelty, and derision of his aristocratic classmates–before joining the King of Gernia’s brutal campaign of territorial expansion. The life chosen for him will be fraught with hardship, for he must ultimately face a forest-dwelling folk who will not submit easily to a king’s tyranny. And they possess an ancient magic their would-be conquerors have long discounted…a powerful sorcery that threatens to claim Nevare Burvelle’s soul and devastate his world once the Dark Evening brings the carnival to Old Thares.
