Book Description
A NEW ROGUE & KNIGHT EPIC FANTASY SERIES BEGINS Harric, an outcast rogue, must break a curse on his fate or die by his nineteenth birthday. As the day approaches, nightmares from the spirit world stalk him and tear at his sanity; sorcery eats at his soul. To survive, he'll need more than his usual tricks. He'll need help-and a lot of it-but on the kingdom's lawless frontier, his only allies are other outcasts. One of these outcasts is Caris, a mysterious, horse-whispering runaway, intent upon becoming the Queen's first female knight. The other is Sir Willard-ex-immortal, ex-champion, now addicted to pain-killing herbs and banished from the court. With their help, Harric might keep his curse at bay. But for how long? And both companions bring perils and secrets of their own: Caris bears the scars of a troubled past that still hunts her; Willard is at war with the Old Ones, an order of insane immortal knights who once enslaved the kingdom. The Old Ones have returned to murder Willard and seize the throne from his queen. Willard is on the run and on one final, desperate quest for his queen. Together, Harric and his companions must overcome fanatical armies, murderous sorcerers, and powerful supernatural foes. Alone, Harric must face the temptation of a forbidden magic that could break his curse, but cost him the only woman he's ever loved. "* * * A tale of magic, mischief, and the triumph of tricksters. * * *" MULTIPLE AWARD-WINNING FANTASY NOVEL In 2014, "The Jack of Souls" won the prestigious Pacific Northwest Writers Association award for fantasy. It also won the Southwest Writers annual award for fantasy. TESTIMONIALS "Of all the books I've read in the past couple of years, "The Jack of Souls" is by far my favorite. Merlino's remarkable imagination and storytelling skills had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through.

Now this boldly imagined, intricately plotted new novel takes us deeper into the Well World than ever before . . .
