Saving Vegetable Seeds

The epic Two of Swords trilogy continues in this second volume from a World Fantasy Award–winning author.

“One of fantasy’s premier voices.” —SFX

A soldier with a gift for archery. A woman who kills without care. Two brothers, both unbeatable generals, now fighting for opposing armies. No one in the vast and once glorious United Empire remains untouched by the rift between East and West, and the war has been fought for as long as anyone can remember. Some still survive who know how it was started, but no one knows how it will end . . .

The second volume of a sweeping and ingeniously plotted epic fantasy from the World Fantasy Award–winning author K. J. Parker and his most ambitious work to date. This is a story of a war on a grand scale, told through the eyes of soldiers, politicians, victims and heroes.

Praise for The Two of Swords: Volume One

“Parker's acerbic wit and knowledge of human nature are a delight to read as he explores the way conflict is guided, in equal measure, by the brilliance and unerring foolishness of humanity. . . . Thoroughly engaging.” —RT Books Reviews
