About the Book

The Compton Crook Award winning Deeds of Paksenarrion series continues as Paksenarrion continues her journey from sheepfarmer's daughter to warrior hero.

FROM SHEEPFARMER’S DAUGHTER TO GIRD'S WARRIOR

Once a sheepfarmer’s daughter, now a seasoned veteran, Paksenarrion has proven herself a fighter. Years with Duke Phelan’s Company taught her weaponry, discipline, and how to react as part of a military unit.

Now, though, Paks feels spurred to a solitary destiny. Against all odds she is accepted as a paladin-candidate by the fellowship of Gird. Years of study will follow, for a paladin must be versed in diplomacy and magic as well as the fighting arts. But before she is fully trained, Paks is called on her first mission: to seek out the fabled stronghold of Luap far to the west. The way is long, the dangers many—and not even the Marshal-General of Gird can say whether glory or ruin awaits.

Raves and Reviews

Praise for The Deed of Paksenarrion series:

“One of the absolute classics of military fantasy. A masterful blend of the reality of military life with the magic and worldbuilding of the best fantasy. Paksennarion is one of the greatest military fantasy characters of all time. Captures the essence of what it’s like to be a soldier and makes you feel like you’re part of the unit.” —Michael Mammay, Col. (retired), author of Planetside

Praise for Elizabeth Moon:
“Excellent plotting and characters support the utterly realistic action sequences: swift, jolting, confusing, and merciless. It’s a corker!” —Kirkus Reviews

“Moon has created a richly imagined universe of different cultures, replete with intriguing characters and the sense of unlimited possibility that characterizes the most appealing science fiction.” —School Library Journal

“Rip-roaring action and intriguing science and tactics . . . [a] grand space opera tour de force.” —Publishers Weekly
 
"[T]he first work of high heroic fantasy I've seen that has taken the work of Tolkien, assimilated it totally and deeply and absolutely, and produced something altogether new and yet incontestably based on the master . . . [Moon's] military knowledge is impressive, her picture of life in a mercenary company most convincing. I'm deeply impressed.” —Judith Tarr
