The second volume in Raymond E. Feist's highly acclaimed epic fantasy Riftwar Saga

With the Kingdom of the Isles at peace, Prince Arutha can at last look forward to marrying the Princess Anita in the city of Krondor.

But the capital in the west harbours many shadows. When Jimmy the Hand, a young thief in the Guild of Mockers, upsets an assassination attempt on Arutha, a sinister plot is uncovered.

As the dead rise and assassins stalk the darkness, Arutha must rally the Kingdom forces swiftly if he is to save his beautiful princess felled by a poisoned arrow on her wedding day, and prevent a madman from destroying Midkemia.

Review of 'A Darkness at Sethanon' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

This is where my Riftwar Cycle and Saga come to an end.

This installment wasn't enough to convince me to keep reading on but I couldn't say exactly what was the cause. The story may have been more sci-fi than fantasy, the characters didn't resonate with me or maybe the books were too short for the complex world Feist was creating. I gave the series a try but this is where I get off.
