Complete at Last in a
Single Hardcover Volume
—the Finest Trilogy of
Epic Fantasy in a Decade
Paksenarrion, a simple sheepfarmer's daughter, yearns for a life of adventure and glory, such as was known to heroes in songs and story. At age seventeen she runs away from home to join a mercenary company and begins her epic life . . . Book One: Paks is trained as a mercenary, blooded, and introduced to the life of a soldier . . . and to the followers of Gird, the soldier's god. Book Two: Paks leaves the Duke's company to follow the path of Gird alone—and on her lonely quests encounters the other sentient races of her world. Book Three: Paks the warrior must learn to live with Paks the human. She undertakes a holy quest for a lost elven prince that brings the gods' wrath down on her and tests her very limits.

Product ReviewI've always loved this book/trilogy. i first read it back in high school and then again a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I left the copy back in my storage unit when I went to Japan...but now I see it's Baen... so I was more than trilled to purchase it digitally. :)
Worth reading more than once! :)Posted on

Product ReviewA fun read. Books two and three involve far more magic, and far less on infantry life, which isn't a problem, but is a departure. You can definitely hear the d20s rolling periodically.

Product ReviewA fun series, ripped straight out of someone's 1st Edition AD&D campaign. Old-school gamers can trace Paks' career using the original AD&D rules, recognizing each level and class change. *Old* old-school gamers will also recognize module T1: The Village of Hommlett, even though Ms. Moon carefully filed off the serial numbers. This is how a campaign should run! Great reading.
Just FYI - T1: The Village of Hommlett was first printed in 1979; Sheepfarmer's Daughter was first printed in 1988.Posted on
