Farsala Trilogy
2 Reviews
(3)
YA
Farsala Trilogy series.
Three heroes, Jiaan, Kavi, and Soraya, banded together to lead their country against the invading Hrum in the second book of this well-imagined fantasy series; here, the trio impersonates the mythic hero Sorahb. Through warfare, magic, and trickery they deliver Farsala from the occupation. Sympathetic characters, ingenious episodes, and taut emotional construction bring the series to a stirring finish.

YA
Farsala Trilogy series.
The empire-building Hrum, who defeated the feudal kingdom of Farsala in Fall of a Kingdom, are now mopping up pockets of resistance. The three heroes from the first book join forces to defend the fortress city of Mazad. The military strategy and clever, Scarlet Pimpernel-style ruses of the resistance make for entertaining reading, as does the richly worked pseudo-historical setting.
