Legacy of Kings

Celia Friedman

An evil from ancient times has risen again - and these Souleaters must be destroyed or mankind will face a new dark age. But the greatest sorcerers wield magic only through stealing power from others - so why would they risk themselves? Kamala, the only female magister, must discover her real potential and warriors from a bloodline bred to face the forces of darkness must step into battle. Victory depends on a chosen few but they must be strong indeed to turn the tide of despair.
