I just started The One Kingdom, Book One of The Swan's War Trilogy by Sean Russell.
Sometimes one needs return to the classic tradition of Epic Fantasy and all that genre implies: sweeping, dramatic vistas dripping with equally ballad-worthy history as a backdrop to a main story flush with intrigue rooted in sorcery and war both ancient and new, plain and unseen. Such is the world I have leapt into, the One Kingdom of Ayr that is currently neither one nor a kingdom as two rival Houses battle not only for a long empty throne, but also those among them who dream of peace. A war rooted in ancient, fell enchantments as much as political ambition.
