Product Description
Sulian ap Gwien was seventeen when the Jarnish raiders came. Had she been armed when they found her, she could have taken them all. As it was, it took six of them to subdue her. She will never forgive them.
Thus begins her story-a story that will take her to Caer Tanaga, where King Urdo struggles to bind together the squabbling nobles and petty princes into a unified force that will drive out the barbarians and restore the King's Peace.
Ringing with the clash of arms, rich with high magic and everyday life, The King's Peace is an epic of great deeds and down-to-earth people, told in language with the strength and flexibility of sharpened steel.

Jo Miller (USA: CO) (2008/03/14):
This was a OK read. Better than some but not great. It had so many characters coming and going that I had a hard time keeping up. The war scenes were very well researched and were pretty good. I had a hard time relating to most of Walton's characters because they were so flat. Towards the end though, the characters were getting better (I automaticly liked Rigg, Elen and Conal when they were introduced). Some small bit of magic, lots of action and politics. A different fantasy novel, based on war. It's Walton's first novel, I hope that the rest of the series improves.
