About this ebook
Epic, powerful, and stunningly written, New York Times bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s Victory concludes this thrilling saga of the quest for power fought over generations.
As the final battle of blood against blood looms, both sides face terrible choices. The clash of magic threatens to consume all in its wake, while the fate of Fey and Islander alike rests in one place: The Place of Power. As the brutal battle rages to its thrilling conclusion, Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s masterful storytelling demonstrates that victory demands the ultimate sacrifice.
From its fierce battles to the heartbreaking decisions forced by fate, this epic masterpiece of the quest for power and the fight for freedom solidifies Rusch’s place as the greatest storyteller of our time.
“A very good, very large fantasy...nicely done and with a particularly satisfying and unexpected resolution.”
—Science Fiction Chronicle on The Sacrifice
“Rusch’s greatest strength...is her ability to close down a story and leave the reader feeling that the author could not possibly have wrung any more satisfaction out of the piece.”
—The Kansas City Star
“Kristine Kathryn Rusch integrates the fantastic elements so rigorously into her story that it is often hard to remember she is not merely recording the here and now.”
—Science Fiction Weekly
“Whether [Rusch] writes high fantasy, horror, sf, or contemporary fantasy, I’ve always been fascinated by her ability to tell a story with that enviable gift of invisible prose. She’s one of those very few writers whose style takes me right into the story—the words and pages disappear as the characters and their story swallows me whole.... Rusch has style.”
—Charles de Lint

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An exciting end to the war. However, the magic has too much arbitrary flexibility. The Black King suddenly had totally new capabilities. Magic should have a logic and consistency that is lacking in this book. That said, the book is exciting and the ending satisfying.
