SynopsisA poisoned bolt has struck down the Princess Anita on the day of her wedding to Prince Arutha of Krondor. To save his beloved, Arutha sets out in search of the mytics herb called Silverthorn that only grows in the dark and forbidding land of the Spellweavers. Accompanied by a mercenary, a minstrel, and a clever young thief, he wil confront an ancient evil and do battle with the dark powers that threaten the enchanted realm of Midkemia., -Feist remains one of Spectra's strongest backlist authors, with almost 4 million copies of his books in print (almost 2.5 million alone as part of the Riftwar Saga) and 2.3 million sold (of which 1.6 million are for Riftwar alone). Each book has been through between 11 to 30 printings, with average ROMS still in the 1000s. -Feist's books have hit the bestseller list multiple times, both for us and for his current publisher, HarperCollins. -In conjunction with the Author's Preferred Edition of Prince of the Blood, which will be coming out in hardcover, Spectra will be repacking all of Feist's remaining Riftwar books (Magician- Apprentice, Magician- Master, Silverthorn, A Darkness at Sethanon, and The King's Buccaneer). -A similiar upswing in sales was seen when we reissued the Author's Preferred Editions of Magician- Apprentice and Magician- Master in November 1992 (Doubleday hardcover) and January 1994 (Bantam mass market).
