 Complete
at Last in a
Single Hardcover Volume
—the Finest Trilogy of
Epic Fantasy in a Decade
Paksenarrion, a simple sheepfarmer's daughter, yearns for a life of
adventure and glory, such as was known to heroes in songs and story. At
age seventeen she runs away from home to join a mercenary company and
begins her epic life . . . Book One: Paks is trained as a mercenary,
blooded, and introduced to the life of a soldier . . . and to the
followers of Gird, the soldier's god. Book Two: Paks leaves the Duke's
company to follow the path of Gird alone—and on her lonely quests
encounters the other sentient races of her world. Book Three: Paks the
warrior must learn to live with Paks the human. She undertakes a holy
quest for a lost elven prince that brings the gods' wrath down on her and
tests her very limits.
