    About this ebook

    Book Two of the Riftwar Legacy

    Continuing on from Feist’s bestselling Riftwar Saga comes a spellbinding adventure. Now in a brilliant new livery.

    ‘Feist writes fantasy of epic scope, fast-moving action and vivid – imagination’ Washington Post

    Fresh back from the front, another foe defeated, Prince Arutha arrives to find all is not well in Krondor. A series of apparently random murders has brought an eerie quiet to the city. Where normally the streets are bustling with merchants and tricksters, good life and night life, now there seems to be a self-imposed curfew at sundown.

    Mutilated bodies have been turning up in the sewers, the Mocker’ demense. The Thieves’ Guild has been decimated – men, women, children, it matters not. The head of the Mockers is missing, presumed dead. Those few who survived the terrible attacks are lying low. Very low.

    The Crawler, it seems, is back in town. And he’s being helped by others, more ruthless than he. Can it be the Nighthawks again? The Prince enlists his loyal Squire James to find out. If anyone can unravel what’s happening in the bowels of Krondor, he can. He knows the sewers like the back of his hand. After all, as Jimmy the Hand, he grew up there.

    Meanwhile, the retinue of the Duke of Olasko has arrived suddenly at the palace, a week ahead of schedule but with no apologies and many demands. They say they are here to hunt. But to hunt what? Pug’s son William, on his first posting as a knight-lieutenant, must escort them into the wilds. It should have been a straightforward mission…

      This book follows on pretty much directly from the events in 'Krondor: The Betrayal' but the castoff characters has been widened out a bit as we get to meet William, Pug's only natural child,. in his first outings as a junior commander in Arutha's military.. This time the Nighthawks, or something very similar to them, are back mixed in with a load of shapeshifting mages - what's not to like!
    • 2/5
      Sword-and-sorcery-adventures in a Medieval setting: male characters nice, female characters not important. The fighting makes nice reading, but the over-all story I find disappointing. Some bad sorcerers have some bad plans: what those are, I don't know at the beginning and I don't know at the end of the book...
    • 4/5
      This book should be popular with Feist fans for one particular reason, because it features one of the best characters of the early books, Jimmy the Hand. Jimmy must track down a rash of assassinations and murders in Krondor, using his old connections to find out who's behind them and stop them before they cause a disaster. This book is a little more personal than most Feist books, as there are no large armies or hordes of invaders, and the key to solving everything isn't magic, its Jimmy's cleverness.
    • 4/5
      This is the 2nd book in the Riftwar Legacy. Krondor seems to be having an unusually large number of strange deaths, which Jimmy the Hand is able to trace to the Night Hawks, but there seemed to be someone controlling several different groups that by all rights shouldn't be coordinating together. Whispers of The Crawler get back to Arutha through Jimmy. The trail takes them deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of plots. Our daring heroes try to keep the kingdom safe.
