Faery Lands Forlorn [Paperback]

The author ofMagic Casementreturns to the fantastical world of Pandemia: “The series bears resemblance to Robin Hobb’s Farseer Trilogy” (Fantasy Book Review).
 
When Queen Inos was abducted through the magic casement and her friend, the stableboy Rap, tried to follow her, they arrived in places very strange—and very far apart . . . 
 
Inos finds herself in the country of Zark, captured by a powerful sorceress who rules over the desert land with a brutal magic.
 
Meanwhile, Rap and his companions wind up in Faerie. Desperate to find Inos, he’ll try anything, even though witches and warlocks abound—and trustworthy allies are hard to find. One, though, a sea captain, hires Rap as part of his crew, and they embark on a journey that could take him farther away from Inos—and deeper into a dangerous adventure . . .
