Publisher's summary

From the critically acclaimed author of Prince of Fools comes the third volume of the brilliant new epic fantasy series The Red Queen's War.

All the horrors of hell stand between Snorri Ver Snagason and the rescue of his family, if indeed the dead can be rescued.

For Jalan Kendeth, getting back out alive and with Loki's Key is all that matters. Loki's creation can open any lock, any door, and it may also be the key to Jal's fortune back in the living world. Jal plans to return to the three Ws that have been the core of his idle and debauched life: wine, women, and wagering.

Fate, however, has other larger plans....

The Wheel of Osheim is turning ever faster, and it will crack the world unless it's stopped. When the end of all things looms and there's nowhere to run, even the worst coward must find new answers. Jal and Snorri face many dangers - from the corpse hordes of the Dead King to the many mirrors of the Lady Blue - but in the end, fast or slow, the Wheel of Osheim will exert its power. In the end it's win or die.

"Mark Lawrence is the best thing to happen to fantasy in recent years." (Peter V. Brett)

"Reminds me of when I first discovered Gemmell and Hobb and I can't wait for the next instalment." (David Chadwick)
"The brisk adventure and black magic will leave readers eager for the next chapter in the series." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Lawrence improves with every book he writes and if he keeps on like this, we may have to turn the ratings system up to eleven. Magnificent, and highly recommended." ( Starburst Magazine)

Good conclusion

Good conclusion to the series. Really liked the growth of Jalan as a character. The pace of the story is somewhat faster than in the previous books but it works nicely to fit in more action. Great performance by Sean Ohlendorf - he has a magnificent variety of voices and accents

Loved it!

This was an excellent and fitting end to the series. Yet again Mark weaves a magical mix of humor, action and suspense. It definitely doesn't disappoint.
