Bransen Garibond, known as the Highwayman, has fulfilled his quest for the ruler of Vanguard, Dame Gwydre, by killing the evil religious leader known as The Ancient. Now he returns to his homeland of Honce, only to find a vicious war between two rival nobles driven by their lust for power. Entanglements involving politics and the struggling Abellican church draw Garibond, his wife, and his mother-in-law deep into a web of plots and counterplots as the Highwayman wields both his sword and his keen mind to protect his family. Verdict Set in the same world as his "Demonwars" series, Salvatore's follow-up to The Ancient features solid characters, a well-crafted background, and stirring scenes of swordplay with just a hint of romance. Essential for the author's fans and readers who enjoy fantasy adventure. Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
