3The Compton Crook Award winning Deeds of Paksenarrion comes to an epic conclusion. Paksenarrion finishes her journey from sheepfarmer's daughter to warrior hero. Includes a new introduction by author Elizabeth Moon.

THE EPIC CONCLUSION TO THE DEED OF PAKSENARRION SERIES

Paksenarrion--Paks for short--was somebody special. Never could she have followed her father's orders and married the pig farmer down the road. Better a soldier's life than a pig farmer's wife, and so, though she knew that she could never go home again, Paks ran away to be a soldier. And so began an adventure destined to transform a simple sheepfarmer's daughter into a hero fit to be chosen by the gods.

Now an accomplished warrior in her own right, Paks takes on a holy quest that will test her limits. For the gods are no longer pleased with Paksenarrion, and their wrath may well spell her destruction.

Features an all-new introduction by the author
