Oath of Gold

Bag om Oath of Gold

The Compton Crook Award winning Deeds of Paksenarrion comes to an epic conclusion. Paksenarrion finishes her journey from sheepfarmer's daughter to warrior hero. Includes a new introduction by author Elizabeth Moon. Paksenarrion—Paks for short—was somebody special. Never could she have followed her father's orders and married the pig farmer down the road. Better a soldier's life than a pig farmer's wife, and so, though she knew that she could never go home again, Paks ran away to be a soldier. And so began an adventure destined to transform a simple Sheepfarmer's Daughter into a hero fit to be chosen by the gods. Features an all-new introduction by the author! About Elizabeth Moon: “Excellent plotting and characters support the utterly realistic action sequences: swift, jolting, confusing, and merciless. It’s a corker!”—Kirkus Reviews “Moon has created a richly imagined universe of different cultures, replete with intriguing characters and the sense of unlimited possibility that characterizes the most appealing science fiction.”—School Library Journal “Rip-roaring action and intriguing science and tactics . . . [a] grand space opera tour de force.”—Publishers Weekly "[T]he first work of high heroic fantasy I've seen that has taken the work of Tolkien, assimilated it totally and deeply and absolutely, and produced something altogether new and yet incontestably based on the master... [Moon's] military knowledge is impressive, her picture of life in a mercenary company most convincing. I'm deeply impressed."—Judith Tarr
