The Spellsong War

The sequel to "The Soprano Sorceress," from the bestselling author of The Recluse Saga. Anna Marshal, who has been pulled by a sorcerer from her boring life as a music instructor in Ames, Iowa, to the world of Erde, is now regent for the kingdom of Defalk. Now she must defend Defalk against the greedy rulers of neighboring kingdoms who see it as a weakened state.
"I read slowly, 'tis true, but I stayed up until 2: 30 to finish The Spellsong War... That's a god indication for any reader that Modesitt tells a damned good tale. Even if you're a tenor."
ANNE MCCAFFREY

"One of the premier voices in fantasy... A highly original new series that promises to enthrall us as much or more than the popular Magic of Recluce collection of books. Mr. Modesitt is a fabulous world builder who once again creates a milieu so compelling that it seems like we actually got here with the plucky heroine."
ROMANTIC TIMES

"Resplendent feminist fantasy with an inventive and expertly handled scenario, life-sized characters, and flawless plotting."
KIRKUS REVIEWS (POINTER REVIEW)

"The gritty details of this world make it as real as any in science fiction. As usual, Mr. Modesitt's sense of power makes the fantastic background more plausible."
