Rifkind's Challenge

A warrior sorceress in a barbarian world seeks her fate as the true-born Daughter of the Bright Moon in this standalone follow-up to The Black Flame. "Fans will welcome Lynn Abbey's Rifkind's Challenge, the latest entry in the classic sword-and-sorcery series . . . whose swashbuckling heroine helped inspire TV's Xena: Warrior Princess." —Publishers Weekly In a desert world ruled by men, Rifkind has always been one apart. A chieftain's daughter, she learned to wield a sword while all other women were bound by tribal custom to children and the cooking fire. But when her clan was massacred, she set forth on a quest for her destiny in savage lands ruled by magic and the sword. For a while she had thought that she had found a home. She practiced the healing arts and raised her son. But now she has once again heard a personal call to arms, a call to leave behind the safety of her home. She will once again take up the way of the sword, the way of sorcery. And this time she is not alone. "Lynn Abbey has been spinning wonderful yarns for years and I have yet to be disappointed by anything with her name on it. Her sense of place, lively characters, and deft narration are a guarantee of a great read." —Raymond E. Feist "Rifkind's Challenge has cool people dealing with interesting problems, and all of the elements of an adventure yarn, with the whole blended in just the proportions I like." —Steve Brust
