Second entry in Elliott's doorstopper fantasy series (King's
Dragon, Feb. 1997) set in the old/medieval-Europe - flavored
kingdom of Wendar. Following an invasion by the vicious, barbaric,
nonhuman Eika and their terrible dogs, King Henry makes plans to
recapture the city of Gent - where his immortal bastard son
Sanglant, the prince of dogs, is being kept chained and humiliated
by the Eika warlord Bloodheart. Elsewhere, young King's Eagle
Liath, pursued by her nemesis, Hugh, strives to rediscover her past
and master the magic within her. Alain, Count Lavastine's adopted
heir, desires only peace but can't disregard his oath to the Lady
of Battles. And Fifth Brother, Bloodheart's least-favored son, is
developing his own agenda for dealing with both his father and the
humans. A solidly engrossing addition to a worthwhile series.
(Kirkus Reviews)
Kate Elliott's KING'S DRAGON launched a magnificent new epic
fantasy. Now, with PRINCE OF DOGS, one of the most exciting fantasy
series of recent years continues . . . Sanglant - the prince of
dogs, King Henry's bastard son - is being held captive in the city
of Gent by Bloodheart, The Eika warlord. Liath, now one of the
King's Eagles - and still grieving over the loss of Sanglant - is
desperately trying to unlock the secrets of her own past. Unless
she masters her powers she may prove a grave danger to everyone,
herself included. Alain, now proclaimed a Count's heir, is
increasingly troubled by visions of the enemy he befriended and the
Lady of Battles whom he's sworn to serve. And Fifth Brother, least
favoured son of Bloodheart, has returned to the lands of his own
people to unite the scattered tribes and build an army to do his
father's bidding. While King Henry continues this progress through
his troubled realm, Sanglant, Liath, Alain and Fifth Brother fight
their own individual battles. Only time will tell who will prove
triumphant as all of them are caught up in the dangers and turmoil
of a world at war . . .
