“An epic reading experience.”

San Diego Union-Tribune

Acclaimed, New York Times bestselling fantasist Raymond E. Feist gets his masterful Serpentwar Saga off to a spectacular start with Shadow of a Dark Queen. Feist’s classic epic fantasy adventure returns readers to ever-imperiled Midkemia, a breathtaking, richly imagined realm of magic and intrigue, where two unlikely heroes must rally the forces of the land to stand firm against a malevolent race of monsters intent upon conquest and annihilation. Locus magazine calls Shadow of a Dark Queen, “the place to start for those yet to discover Feist’s fantasy worlds.” For fans of Terry Goodkind, George R. R. Martin, and Terry Brooks—and for anyone not already in the thrall of this astonishing author’s literary magic—that is excellent advice indeed

Got this book on a whim, and really enjoyed it, time to get the rest of the series. I hope it's as good.

Great read!

The book was fantastic but the narrator was terrible. Mr Joyce was not a good fit for this book. I had to speed it up I've never had to do that to any other book I've listened to but it needed to happen. The voices all sounded the same there was no difference save one voice and then he made him sound like a girl. There has to be a better Narrator out there like Nick Podehl or George Guidall just to name a couple. Fiest is one of my favorite authors and to hear like this sucks.

Great book. Terrible Narrator.

just the right amount of detail to enhance the overall story. Unforseen twists and turns in the story line ended up making this a completely different story from what I was expecting when I started out. Highly recommended.

Riveting!
