Two new, original novellas-Donaldson's first publication since
finishing the Thomas Covenant series-are a sure cause for
celebration among his many fans. In The King's Justice, a stranger
dressed in black arrives in the village of Settle's Crossways,
following the scent of a terrible crime. He even calls himself
"Black," though almost certainly that is not his name. The people
of the village discover that they have a surprising urge to
cooperate with this stranger, though the desire of inhabitants of
quiet villages to cooperate with strangers is not common in their
land, or most lands. But this gift will not save him as he
discovers the nature of the evil concealed in Settle's Crossways.
The "Augur's Gambit" is a daring plan created by Mayhew Gordian,
Hieronomer to the Queen of Indemnie, a plan to save his Queen and
his country. Gordian is a reader of entrails. In the bodies of
chickens, lambs, piglets, and one stillborn infant he sees the same
message: the island nation of Indemnie is doomed. But even in the
face of certain destruction a man may fight, and the Hieronomer is
utterly loyal to his beautiful Queen--and to her only daughter. The
"Augur's Gambit" is his mad attempt to save a kingdom.
