In celebration of their tenth year in publishing, EOS, Robin Hobb’s current US publisher, is giving away a free e-version of the first novel in her latest series, The Soldier Son Trilogy, called Shaman’s Crossing

FREE E-BOOK: Robin Hobb, SHAMAN’S CROSSING

Eos is 10 years old! To kick-off our yearlong anniversary party, we’re giving away free e-books! Every two months for 2008, we’ll give away a new free e-book at www.harpercollinsebooks.com/eos10.

We’re thrilled to announce the inaugural title:

SHAMAN’S CROSSING, Robin Hobb

Book One of the Soldier Son trilogy, SHAMAN’S CROSSING tells the story of Nevare Burvelle, destined from birth to be a soldier.

The second son of a newly anointed nobleman, he must endure the rigors of military training at the elite King’s Cavella Academy–and survive the hatred, cruelty, and derision of his aristocratic classmates–before joining the King of Gernia’s brutal campaign of territorial expansion. The life chosen for him will be fraught with hardship, for he must ultimately face a forest-dwelling folk who will not submit easily to a king’s tyranny. And they possess an ancient magic their would-be conquerors have long discounted…a powerful sorcery that threatens to claim Nevare Burvelle’s soul and devastate his world once the Dark Evening brings the carnival to Old Thares.

FOREST MAGE and RENEGADE’S MAGIC are out now.

Hobb is one of the premier authors in the fantasy genre and, in my opinion, Shaman’s Crossing, is well worth the read, especially at that price!
