Honoured Enemy marks the triumphant return of Raymond E. Feist to his best-loved series, brought to life in collaboration with acclaimed military fantasy writer William Forstchen. This gripping novel offers an intense foray into the intricate world of Midkemia, weaving a tale rich with conflict, camaraderie, and moral dilemmas.

Hartraft's Marauders, an elite unit from the Kingdom, specialise in covert operations and combat missions behind enemy lines. After enduring a devastating clash with the formidable Tsurani forces, they find themselves navigating a perilous path towards a frontier garrison. At the same time, a Tsurani patrol is dispatched with orders to bolster the assault on this very outpost. Circumstances bring these two enemy factions face to face at the garrison, only to discover it has been annihilated by a migrating horde of moredhel (dark elves).

Faced with mutual annihilation from the dark elven menace, these sworn enemies make an uneasy alliance, forced to fight side by side for survival. As they traverse the treacherous and unfamiliar Northlands, their journey is fraught with relentless challenges: the unforgiving elements, relentless foes, and, most importantly, their own inner conflicts. Each soldier must grapple with the profound question of what holds greater value – their lives or their honour.

With masterful storytelling, Feist and Forstchen explore themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the complex nature of warfare. Honoured Enemy delivers an engrossing narrative that leaves readers pondering the true cost of freedom and the price of honour in the heart of battle. This book is a testament to the prowess of both authors, ensuring an unforgettable experience for fans of epic fantasy and military fiction alike.
