About this ebook
From the international bestselling author of The Chronicles ofThomas Covenant comes an extensive and all original new fantasy novella.
Augur's Gambit is a tight and action-filled novella of more than 40,000 words. A novella with all the rich word-building and acute characterisation that readers have come to expect from the man who re-invigorated the whole genre in the 1980s and went on to write one of Fantasy's landmark series.
Revelling in the sense of freedom that comes from writing a new creation after the massive, controlled effort of the ten book epic of the Chronicles this is a novella that will both delight existing fans and win new readers for Donaldson's uniquely rich and intelligent fantasies.

As a long time fan of Stephen Donaldson I was looking for a new read. This was short (which was a great relief after the excessive slog of Covenant pt 3) and very well written. He was always brilliant at describing a scene and making you feel part of it. This skill is continued in this book which i struggle to put down. Great read and a nice shift from what we are used to from him.
