The whole of the magnificent Riftwar Cycle by best-selling author Raymond E. Feist, master of magic and adventure, now available in ebook.

For nearly a year peace reigned in the enchanted kingdom of Rillanon. But new challenges awaited Arutha, the Prince of Krondor, when Jimmy the Hand - the youngest thief in the Guild of Mockers - came upon a sinister Nighthawk poised to assassinate him.

What evil power raises the dead and makes corpses do battle with the living at the behest of the Guild of Death? And what high magic can defeat it?

Meanwhile, a life-or-death quest must be undertaken to find an antidote to a poison that fells a beautiful princess on her wedding day...

Silverthorn is the second book in the Riftwar Saga. The trilogy concludes with book three, .

5.0 out of 5 stars Different to the first book but still amazing 20 Sep 2006
By Alexa
Format:Paperback
While this book is very different to Magician it is still an amazing read. While it does follow on and many of the same characters are present the plot and style of the story is different. It is very fast paced although due to this some of the new characters lacked depth. Saying this, those characters were not central to the story. It was good to hear of Jimmy the Hand again as he plays a big part in this story. The only downside was where Magician finished satisfactorily it felt like Silverthorn was just part 1 of the story and to finish it you must read A Darkness at Sethanon. While this isn't necessarily bad it doesn't really follow on from the style of the clean cut ending of Magician.

5.0 out of 5 stars If "Magician" has been bettered then this is it 4 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
"Magician" was the start of something special, an epic trilogy. The sequel is a true masterpiece. Feist's depiction of the characters is astonishing, realistic and above all sincere. The fighting scenes are beautifully described and you will feel like you are watching it! Feist has a knack for developing amazing races and the moredhel are something special. This is an excellent read, if a little too short but a brilliant book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very different Riftwar book. 19 Sep 2003
By Ian Tapley VINE VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
THE STORY:
Prince Arutha's fiancee is poisoned on their wedding day and Arutha must set off with his friends in search of the cure - the Silverthorn.
WHAT'S GOOD:
This is a classic fantasy tale as a group of heroes travel into hostile territory to save the life of a princess. The characters are excellent and the interaction between Arutha and his half-brother Martin is especially interesting. Jimmy the Hand is always a welcome character too (and, I suspect, Feist's favourite). This book is largely a prelude to 'A Darkness At Sethanon', but does not suffer for it, building the tension of the coming conflict.
WHAT'S BAD:
Unfortunately 'Silverthorn' lacks the epic scale of 'Magician' and is, in every way, that book's inferior. However, a masterpiece such as 'Magician' would be a tough act to follow anyway, so don't judge this book too harshly.
An excellent continuance of the story of Midkemia.

3.0 out of 5 stars SilverThorrn in the side of Feist 4 Sep 2003
By Owen Anslow
Format:Paperback
OK....you've just finished Feist's epic Magician and you are desperate to continue the riftwar saga. Silverthorn is not the best follow-up to his first book but then again, how do you follow such an amazing opener?
The best section of the book is one that will stay in your mind throught your Feist journey. Jimmy the Hand jumping gracefully across the roooftops of Krondor to take on an assasin trying to take out Prince Arutha.
Sadly, the book slows down from there and although Arutha's journey into the enemy heartland is a gripping ride, there is little to make this an exciting book.
Nice story-line (Prince trying to save his Princess) but lacking in the quality we all now Feist is capable of.
Despite the bad reviews, your need to read this book to set yourselves up for the next installment - possibly Feist's greatest novel - A Darkness At Sethanon.

4.0 out of 5 stars A suspenseful quest. 12 Mar 2002
By Stephanie Noverraz
Format:Paperback
This is the second book of the Riftwar Saga (after Magician and before A Darkness at Sethanon).
In Krondor, while discreetly escaping on the roofs after robbing a rich local merchant, Jimmy the Hand stumbles across a Nighthawk, an assassin. Finding out the target was Arutha, who has just come back from Rillanon to wed Anita, Jimmy decides to warn the Prince and help him discover who wants his death.
As two Nighthawks are captured for questioning, one of them turns out a disguised Moredhel. But just after dying, the creature strangely rises up again and starts attacking the Prince. Only with much magic will they be able to kill the monster.
After a raid in the Nighthawks' headquarters where the zombie assassins were neutralised by burning the whole building, peace returns and the wedding can take place. But as Arutha and Anita are walking down the aisle, Jimmy catches sight of Laughing Jack, a former colleague of Jimmy who he'd yet killed that night on the roofs, hiding in ambush in the cupola with a crossbow. Nimbly climbing up to try and prevent the worst, Jimmy only manages to deflect the arrow, which strikes Anita.
On closer inspection, they discover the arrow was poisoned: Anita is slowly dying. After exhorting Jack to tell them the name of the poison, Silverthorn, Arutha and his friends set out on a quest to find the antidote.
The story goes on to describe, on one hand, Arutha, Jimmy, Martin and Laurie traveling in search of the cure that'll save Anita, first to the library of Sarth abbey, then to Elvandar and finally to Moraelin, on the shores of the Black Lake in Moredhel territory, and on the other hand, Pug and his friends looking for an explanation to these mysterious events.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense! 14 Nov 2003
By Kurt A. Johnson
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is the second book in Raymond Feist's Riftwar Saga, and picks up after the accession of the conDoin family to the throne of the Kingdom of the Isles. When Jimmy the Hand stumbles upon a Nighthawk (member of the guild of assassins), preparing to kill Prince Arutha, it becomes apparent that something strange is going on. But, when the Prince and his men confront the Nighthawks, it soon becomes apparent that a creature of limitless power, and equally limitless evil, is on the march and wants Arutha out of the way. The situation goes from bad to worse, when Arutha's bride is shot with a poisoned arrow during their wedding. The poison is from a plant named Silverthorn, and to effect a cure, Arutha and a band of compatriots must venture into the lair of this evil and snatch one of the plants. But, there is more danger on the path than anyone could ever have expected...
This is a great book. It has a different feeling than the first book of the series, Magician, but includes many of the same characters. The action is intense, even more powerful than in the previous book, with scenes that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up! I loved this book, don't hesitate to recommend it to Fantasy lovers everywhere!
