"After inheriting the mantle as leader of Sorcerer's Isle, Magnus, Pug's son, unearthed his father's journal. Rather than consigning it to the library shelf, Magnus reorganized its contents and inserted some of his own observations and clarifications of his father's life. Here for the first time, father and son are united in a single story that charts the evolution of Midkemia itself. Complete with hand-drawn maps, which Pug collected throughout his life, that detail changes in Midkemia's geography as war ravages the land and physically alters the landscape, the book is part journal and part atlas. With thirty pieces of specially commissioned artwork that bring key moments in the Chaoswar Saga to vivid life, it delivers an in-depth look into the world of Midkemia as never seen before"--Jacket.

A blend of science fiction and fantasy, the Book of Swords series describes twelve magically swords forged with specific enhancements, and sometimes serious detracting abilities granted to the one who wields them. The stories are generally well written with plenty of plot twists and conflicts for the protagonist to overcome. If you enjoy a good quest, or a trip down fantasy lane, you may be interested in this book and the remaining series. See the [Wikipedia entry][1] for further details on the series. [1]:

On the outskirts of town is an impressive estate, Aislinn House, where the aged Lady Eglantyne lies dying, and where the doors sometimes open not to its own dusty rooms, but to the wild majesty of a castle full of knights and princesses
