Rides A Dread Legion

In Rides a Dread Legion, Raymond E. Feist, a master of epic fantasy, returns with the first book in a brand-new, exhilarating series set in the richly detailed world of Midkemia. A decade has passed since the cataclysmic events of Wrath of a Mad God, and now Midkemia faces a peril thought lost to myth and antiquity.

The taredhel, or "people of the stars," are a lost race of elves who have finally found a way across the universe to reach Midkemia. These elves, once the rulers of a vast and majestic empire, have been driven to near extinction by a ravaging demon horde on their current home world. Their once-great civilization now survives as mere remnants, desperately clinging to life. Central to taredhel mythology is the legend of their origins in a place they call simply "Home", a world shrouded in the mists of time. The taredhel firmly believe Midkemia to be their fabled "Home" and are determined to reclaim it at any cost.

Ruthless and arrogant, the taredhel's determined pursuit of their destiny means they will let nothing stand in their way. Pug, the sorcerer of unmatched power, and his compatriots in the Conclave of Shadows quickly realise that the true danger lies not solely with the encroaching elves, but with the menacing demon horde that has relentlessly pursued them across the stars.

Complex and multi-faceted, Rides a Dread Legion delves deep into the rich lore of Midkemia, exploring themes of survival, destiny, and the often harsh price of reclamation. The tale is interspersed with moments of intense action, profound introspection, and gripping suspense, ensuring that readers are hooked from the very first page.

Utterly compelling from start to finish, this novel showcases Feist's unparalleled talent for weaving intricate, character-driven narratives within the bounds of a magnificently crafted fantasy world. As Pug grapples with external threats and the harrowing prophecy that dooms him to witness the deaths of all those he loves, Feist unveils a sprawling epic that promises to both thrill and heartbreak.

Rides a Dread Legion is a must-read for fans of epic fantasy, providing a perfect blend of adventure, mythology, and high-stakes drama that enriches the longstanding saga of Midkemia.
