Fortress of Eagles
Locus Award nominee 1999.
CHILD OF WIZARDRY
Tristen is both more and less than a man. A summoning, a shaping, he was brought to life by a wizard, to serve a king yet to be crowned.
Now the wizard is dead. And young Cefwyn is king.
Cefwyn has a dream: a united Ylesuin, and a peace this land has never known. Cefwyn needs his only friend, this young man of mysterious origins who is more brother than vassal. He relies on Tristen, and trusts him though he knows not why, as he plans the war that will bring his dreams to pass... or bring ruin upon them all.
