‘Improbably large?’ said Dennis as they walked in. ‘I swear on my son’s head that fish was at least three feet long.’
Asayaga looked dubious, but kept his laughter in check as the two friends went into the keep to join their wives and children for supper.

acknowledgements
As always, I am indebted to many people. They include:
The original mothers and fathers of Midkemia, and those who contributed after to the world’s development. Without
them, the landscape would be far less colourful.
I would also like to thank Rich, Andy, Jim, Rick, and the other regular diners at Flemming’s every Friday who made
many weeks more tolerable during the last year through their humour, sensitivity, and grace. And to Mira, for being such
good company and keeping my mind off my troubles from
time to time.
Jonathan Matson, as always.
And my children, Jessica and James, for just being the most
marvellous things in my existence.
Raymond E Feist
Many thanks of course to my mentor, Dr Gunther Rothenberg,
yet another example of honour and courage, Dr Dennis Showalter, a grand advisor on so many fronts, and Brian Thomsen, Bill Fawcett, and Eleanor Wood.
Finally, a special thanks to Bruce, Gus, John, and my friends from Nomads and the University of UlanBaator. We
trekked together across the steppes of Mongolia discovering
a fascinating world of adventure, beauty, lost history waiting to be rediscovered, and the culinary delights of fermented horse milk and roasted marmots.
