    About this ebook

    “Sara Douglass has the breadth of vision necessary to create sweeping epics and the storyteller’s gift that makes readers love her.”
    —Locus

    Sara Douglass has already established herself as one of the most original and exciting of today’s bestselling fantasists with her Wayfarer Redemption Trilogy, DarkGlass Mountain Trilogy, and other magnificent works of epic fantasy. With The Devil’s Diadem, she delivers a richly imaginative stand-alone novel of alternate history, set in a twelfth-century England similar to our own time, in which a virulent plague threatens to annihilate a kingdom—and one unwitting young noblewoman holds the key to salvation. Library Journal puts Douglass’s work, “on a par with with Terry Goodkind and Robert Jordan.” Read The Devil’s Diadem and you will most certainly agree.

    • 4/5
      Well written story with interesting characters and a surprising ending.
    • 4/5
      This stand-alone novel by Sara Douglass gives a fantasy back-story to the plague. As she often does with her heroes and heroines, Douglass creates an appealing character with some fatal flaws in the character of Maeb--flaws important enough to twist the story and keep it interesting. i did find myself putting the book down about 3/4 of the way through as the plot twists ( even for fantasy) were a little too contrived, but when I picked it back up I didn't mind the epiogue wrap up that placed the characters at the end of their stories. An enjoyable read.
