Synopsis

Now in paperback, Raymond E. Feist's legendary Midkemia comes to life in this illustrated deluxe volume complete with sixty full-color illustrations, including maps, blueprints of key locations, and character sketches, and featuring commentary from one of the most beloved characters in fantasy, the magician Pug of Stardock.

"In the first year of the reign of King Lyam conDoin, I, Pug of Crydee, magician to the royal court and cousin to the King by adoption, do take quill in hand and set forth this writ, that all may benefit from the knowledge I have gained. . . ."-- Pug of Stardock

Based on Pug's journal, reorganized and edited with observations and insights by his son, Magnus, this lush visual compendium charts the evolution of the remarkable world of Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar Saga.

Part journal, part atlas, Midkemia: The Chronicles of Pug begins at the Far Coast, where the magician recounts his childhood and the eventual journey that takes him to the Grey Towers, Sorcerer's Isle, and Krondor. The book also documents Pug's encounters with several favorite characters he meets along the way, such as Jimmy and Locky, the Saaur, and Erik and Roo in Ravensburg. Beautiful hand-drawn maps--collected by Pug throughout his life--detail changes in Midkemia's geography as war ravages the land, and thirty pieces of specially commissioned artwork illustrate key moments in the Riftwar Saga.

An in-depth look at an extraordinary world and its brilliant creator, this remarkable companion imaginatively captures the magic, wonder, and drama of Midkemia.
