Continuing the adventures of Fawn, a young farmer girl, and Dag, a seasoned Lakewalker soldier-sorcerer, THE SHARING KNIFE VOLUME THREE picks up where The Sharing Knife: Legacy left off, as Fawn and Dag leave all they have known to try to carve out a place for their mismatched romance. As they seek passage on a riverboat heading to the sea, they inadvertently acquire a number of followers: Fawn’s irrepressible brother; a pair of Lakewalker apprentices; a farmer boy Dag accidentally magically beguiles; and a young riverboat captain searching for her father and fiancee, who mysteriously vanished on the river nearly a year ago. As the motley band travels downstream, Fawn and Dag encounter bandits, magic, prejudice both within and without the group... and a new understanding of marriage, family, and the differences between farmers and Lakewalkers.
