Feast of Souls

At the end of her bestselling Coldfire trilogy, Friedman had challenged readers to imagine a world where sorcery requires the ultimate sacrifice--that of life itself. Now, in "Feast of Souls," she introduces a terrifying world in which the cost of magic is just that - in which the fuel for sorcery is the very fire of the human spirit, and those who hunger for magical power must pay for it with their lives. In this epic tale of nightmare shadows and desperate hope, the greatest threat of all may not be that of ancient enemies returned, or ancient wars resumed, but of the darkness that lies within the hearts of men.
