Synopsis

"Feist constantly amazes."
--SF Site

"Feist has a command of language and a natural talent for keeping the reader turning pages."
--Chicago Sun-Times

The Chaoswar--the fifth and final Riftwar--is in full, explosive swing in Raymond E. Feist's A Crown Imperiled, the second book in the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling fantasist's monumental saga of courage, conflict, and bitter consequence. Once again, Midkemia, the author's brilliantly conceived fantasy milieu, is in gravest danger from outside invaders--and from treacherous forces within--as the death of a powerful leader throws the world into chaos and threatens all hope of enduring peace. Returning in A Crown Imperiled are some of Feist's most memorable characters--including the great sorcerer, Pug, who has been a fan favorite since his introduction in the author's beloved classic, Magician--and the action, as always, comes fast and furious. The Chaoswar Saga is the master fantasist working at the peak of his powers, and further proof why Raymond E. Feist, like Terry Goodkind, George R. R. Martin, and Terry Brooks, is one of the true giants of epic fantasy fiction.

From the Back Cover

Enemies march across the realm wreaking havoc. Region by region, Midkemia is being ripped apart, and loyal spy Jim Dasher and his allies find themselves overpowered at every turn. Meanwhile, palace coups threaten to topple the thrones of Roldem and Rillanon, as Lord Hal of Crydee and champion swordsman Ty Hawkins attempt to smuggle Princess Stephané and Lady Gabriella, her perplexing lady-in-waiting, out of Roldem to safety. But nowhere is safe, including Ylith, Midkemia's strategic bastion, which faces an onslaught of brutal Keshian Dog Soldiers and a mysterious force from beneath the sea. And if Ylith falls, all is lost.

But there is still a slim hope, as the magician Pug and the Conclave of Shadows undertake a magical quest to reveal the dark force that's orchestrating Midkemia's destruction . . .
