Synopsis
The distant Forest Province had been torn apart by corruption and rebellion. On the direct orders of her king, Tevra, Colonel of the Light Cavalry, arrives in this strange land with instructions to restore order - at swordpoint, if need be. Yet no steel blade can hold sway in a realm where shapes of death can be fashioned from the still of the air. And even the most ungodly works of the sorcerers pale before the mysterious powers of the Forest King himself - but is he Tevra's ally, or her deadliest foe?
Is Taming the Forest King appropriate for my child?
Suitable for most readers 13 and up.
A military fantasy featuring sword-based combat and magical violence as a cavalry colonel works to restore order in a corrupted province. Some battle sequences expected but likely not graphically detailed given the 1986 publication date.
