Industry Reviews

Praise for Greg Keyes and his novels of The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone The Charnel Prince "There is adventure and intrigue, swordplay and dark sorcery aplenty." -Realms of Fantasy "Keyes's world is rich, detailed and always believable; the twisty plot is delightful and frightening in turns." -Locus "Strong world building and superior storytelling." -Library Journal

The Briar King "A wonderful tale . . . It crackles with suspense and excitement from start to finish." -Terry Brooks "A graceful, artful tale from a master storyteller . . . [The novel] starts off with a bang, spinning a snare of terse imagery and compelling characters that grips tightly and never lets up." -Elizabeth Haydon, bestselling author of Prophecy: Child of Earth "Epic high fantasy . . . Keyes mixes cultures, religions, institutions, and languages with rare skill." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) " "
