Jaws of Darkness

Harry Turtledove's masterful saga of a magical world's cataclysmic war, which began with Into the Darkness, has earned accolades from readers and reviewers alike; in a starred review, Library Journal called it 'a complex and richly detailed epic of war and magic.' In this fifth volume of the series, hope may be dawning. The terrible onslaught of the forces of Algarve-who power their battle magics with the life energy of their murdered victims-begins to founder as it runs into Habakkuk: a sorcerous ship of ice used by embattled nations of Lagoas and Kuusamo to ferry their deadly dragons across the seas to strike at the very heart of Algarvian power. But though the tide has begun to turn, the conflict is far from over. And as the deaths of innocent civilians on both sides continue to feed the flames of war, those who have struggled to survive and preserve their freedom have only their passions to see them through. . . . .Turtledove, Harry is the author of 'Jaws of Darkness', published 2003 under ISBN 9780765304179 and ISBN 0765304171.
