Daughter of Regals and Other Tales

Description

In his first collection of short fiction, Stephen Donaldson, the bestselling author of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and the GAP series of SF novels, presents eight superb stories, including Gilden-Fire, the famous chapter about Korik of the Bloodguard and his mission to Seareach that was part of the original version of The Illearth War, the second of the Covenant books, but omitted from the published version. Enter a world of mystics and unicorns, angels and kings, all realised with the dazzling style and imagination that has made Stephen Donaldson a modern master of the fantasy genre.

Stephen Donaldson spent 13 years in India with his father, a missionary doctor and orthopaedic surgeon. The idea for the Thomas Covenant epic grew out of his fathers work with lepers. The first series won him a slew of awards and immense critical acclaim, which has continued with every new novel. He lives in New Mexico.

Fatal Revenant is the latest in an unbroken line of books that has established Donaldson as the best living exponent of the fantasy genre. Fatal Revenant is a worthy addition to a classic fantasy series. Donaldson has confirmed why he is regarded as a grand master of the genre. - The Weekend Australian.
