The Deed of Paksenarrion
by Elizabeth Moon

Complete at Last in a
Single Hardcover Volume
—the Finest Trilogy of
Epic Fantasy in a Decade

Paksenarrion, a simple sheepfarmer's daughter, yearns for a life of adventure and glory, such as was known to heroes in songs and story. At age seventeen she runs away from home to join a mercenary company and begins her epic life . . . Book One: Paks is trained as a mercenary, blooded, and introduced to the life of a soldier . . . and to the followers of Gird, the soldier's god. Book Two: Paks leaves the Duke's company to follow the path of Gird alone—and on her lonely quests encounters the other sentient races of her world. Book Three: Paks the warrior must learn to live with Paks the human. She undertakes a holy quest for a lost elven prince that brings the gods' wrath down on her and tests her very limits.

"Worldbuilding in the grand tradition, background thought out to the last detail." —Judith Tarr

I read this series when it first came out in about 3 days. It hooked me then and has hooked me each time I have picked it up over the years. Every read through shows me something I missed the time before. It was also one of my first purchases for my nook!

I loved this trilogy when I was a teen. A few days ago, I saw a post on a deals website for free ebooks and saw the first book in the series in the Baen Free Library. I downloaded it and read it again roughly 20 years later. This book has all 3 books of the trilogy in it. I had to buy this book so I could continue rediscovering this great story without delay.

This is an excellent read! I read it yearly during the summer - and anticipate the rich story each time.

6. Allison on 2/22/2011, said:

I have to admit that I found the first book of the trilogy slow, but after reading the second two I realize that it is absolutely necessary to set up the rest of the series, which are incredible! You have to get to know the character as she grows in order to truly understand her in the story. I thoroughly enjoyed these books!

You know over these past two decades I have read and re-read this series and each time it's like finding a comfortable place since I'm on the road constantly stories like these help me find a place inside that can call home.

A rare fantasy series that explores righteousness in a universe that feels familiar but fascinating at the same time

This was a great read, the plot flows throughout all three books so that they read as one.
