And D is for The Deed of Paksenarrion, an omnibus edition of Elizabeth Moon‘s much loved fantasy series. Comprising The Sheepfarmer’s Daughter, Divided Allegiance and Oath of Gold, this massive tome is a wonderful read in its own right but also serves to whet the appetite for Elizabeth’s first new fantasy in almost two decades. Oath of Fealty will be published in March, but meanwhile, you can discover for yourself what prompted praise like this:

‘Engrossing’ Anne McCaffrey 

‘A superlative fantasy trilogy’ Booklist

‘Elves, dark sorcery, and high chivalry … thrilling’ blogcritics.org
