Praise for Sanctuary

“Fans of Thieves' World will relish this sprawling epic, rich with sword and sorcery...and after ten years, the gates to this famed city are reopened, assuring all that more adventures are just around the corner.”--Publishers Weekly

“Good news for all heroic fantasy fans.”--Booklist

“Although this is primarily an adventure story, and a pretty good one at that, it is also a richer and more detailed novel...the book is both more ambitious and more rewarding than most similar fantasy adventures, as well as providing a nostalgic return to the Thieves' World.”--Science Fiction Chronicle

In a desert world ruled by men, Rifkind has always been one apart. A chieftain's daughter, she learned to wield a sword while all other women were bound by tribal custom to children and the cooking fire. But when her clan was massacred, she set forth on a quest for her destiny in savage lands ruled by magic and the sword.

For a while she had thought that she had found a home. She practiced the healing arts and raised her son.

But now she has once again heard a personal call to arms, a call to leave behind the safety of her home. She will once again take up the way of the sword, the way of sorcery. And this time she is not alone.
