About the Book
Internationally bestselling author Raymond E. Feist proves once again why he is the master of epic fantasy with RAGE OF A DEMON KING, the third volume in his Serpentwar Saga. Finally, ultimate war has come to the Kingdom - and all life is in peril.
Erik von Darkmoor has trained well and fought valiantly in the service of the Prince - and has risen up through the ranks to become a respected leader of men. Though still young in years, both he and boyhood friend Rupert "Roo" Avery - one of Krondor's preeminent merchants and one of the Kingdom's richest men - have been aged by experience. And each has an essential role to play in the cataclysm that is to come - as has every warrior, tradesperson, thief, spellweaver, spy, royal, and subject alike who stands to lose far more than life alone to the invading forces of darkness.
Because swords, bows, and lances will not be enough to defeat the true agency beyond the woe and destruction that has been unleashed upon their world. For a demon king has escaped a world already devoured to feed on one consumed by chaos and war. A foul and terrifying thing, a nightmare creature of dark and murderous nature, it seeks to own and corrupt the very source of life itself. And soon more of its dread kind will follow - unless the most powerful sorcerers in the embattled realm can close forever a demon-spilling rift... and unlock a mystery far more dangerous and profound than anything ever known before.
And thus the final conflict is joined, pitting serpent against man and
mage against demon - a furious clashing of swords and spells that rages
from open sea to dank sewer to the farthest corners of reality. For
those who stand for Midkemia, there is victory or there is doom. There is no other outcome.
RAGE OF A DEMON KING is the third chapter of The Serpentwar Saga, an epic tale of war, friendship, magic, valor, and destiny by one of the most acclaimed and bestselling fantasists of our time, Raymond E. Feist.
