About this ebook
Classic high fantasy gets a vampire twist in this epic trilogy set in a world of treachery and war, good and evil—and where the cost of magic is life itself.
As a young woman’s powers grow to rival those of the immortal, all-male Magisters, her fate becomes entwined with that of a sick prince . . .
At the end of her bestselling Coldfire trilogy, C.S. Friedman challenged readers to imagine what a world would be like if sorcery required the ultimate sacrifice—that of life itself. Now, in Feast of Souls, she introduces us to a terrifying world in which the cost of magic is just that . . . in which the fuel for sorcery is the very fire of the human spirit, and those who hunger for magical power must pay for it with their lives. In this epic tale of nightmarish shadows and desperate hope, the greatest threat of all may not be that of ancient enemies returned, or ancient wars resumed, but of the darkness that lies within the hearts of men.
With Feast of Souls, C.S. Friedman returns to the epic style which has made her one of the most popular fantasy writers in the genre. This first book of the Magisters trilogy plunges readers into a world of vampire-like magical powers, erotic interludes, treachery, war, sorcery—and a draconic creature of horrific power and evil.
