Book Description

December 3, 1991
With the bold adventure and brilliant magic that have made him one of fantasy's bestselling authors, R. A. Salvatore continues the epic series that began with Echoes of the Fourth Magic. Join him for a spellbinding tale of darkness, fantasia, and unbridled imagination.

Though many perished in the dark times past, a precious few survivors escaped, fleeing certain doom to find a dazzling, dangerous land of wonder. Here wizards and witches inhabited forests spun from enchantment and towers of celestial beauty. But in this place of promised safety, the Black Warlock was rising from the ashes of defeat--with an insatiable lust to dominate the world.

Square in the path of peril was Rhiannon, the gently reared daughter of the Emerald Witch. As hamlets from the Crystal Mountains to Avalon fell before the fury of the Black Warlock, the young witch sensed a sudden call; strange, terrifying powers tingled within her body. Now Rhiannon had to summon these new, untested abilities to stop the ancient warlock, an enemy who had long since mastered the forces of the universe and bent them to his diabolical will. . .

4.0 out of 5 stars A significant sequel to Echoes of the Fourth Magic, December 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Witch's Daughter (Paperback)
The Witch's Daughter takes place 20 years after the conclusion of Echoes of the Fourth Magic. It picks up dealing with the loose ends left at the end of the first one including the transformation of Reinheiser into Thalasi and the birth of Del's and Brielle's child, Rhiannon. To spice up the book, Salvatore added a Drizzt character named Bryan. The book offers better depictions of Ynis-Aielle and envelops the reader in that Utopia. Yet it also incorporates much of the style of Legacy by preaching periodically and detailing a drawn out war against the good people of Ynis-Aielle. The story follows Salvatore's style of jumping from a variety of important events thereby binding you to the story. Furthermore, a variety of plot turns and additions to the Ynis Aielle world leave loose ends to be completed in the last two books of the series. The Witch's Daughter is a more comlex followup to Echoes of the Fourth Magic providing the reader with a better glimpse into the world first shown in Echoes. It brings fond recollections of many of the Icewind Dale heroes but also starts to draw upon the war and preaching style of the books written after this one including Legacy and Starless Night.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than the first., April 4, 2003
All believed the Black Warlock to be defeated. But Thalasi and Reinheiser were now both sharing the same body. Once harmony was established, he and his evil Talons began their campaign anew to make a new dark world.

Brielle had forever lost Del, but now had a lovely daughter, Rhiannon, who was blessed with the same powers as her mother witch. On her twentieth birthday, Rhiannon's wish was to travel with the Rangers and see the world. She found more than she bargained for! The Black Warlock had thousands upon thousands within his army. The witch and mages were kept busy against the warlock as the others were out numbered 4-to-1 or 10-to-1. But Rhiannon was learning her own powers and feared the devastation she could call up through her magic. But once she learned to control her fear and do what must be done, the Black Warlock and his dead General Mitchell would be in trouble.

**** Exciting from the beginning! Much better than the first of this series. Magical spells, dragons, and battles on nearly every page. A fast paced read that you will fully enjoy.

Alan (Chicago, USA) - See all my reviews
R. A. Salvatore outdid himself. This novel has everything, action, humor and romance. I'm waiting for a fourth book in this series. It's worth reading.
