Description
One of an epic fantasy series including Werenight, Prince of the North and King of the North. Ever since the devastating werenight that ended the Elabonian Empire, Aragis the Archer has been saying that he doesn't want war with Gerin the Fox. If so, why does he adopt a threatening attitude?Tags

Unfortunately, this is the last of the Gerin the Fox series by Turtledove. For once, things have settled down in the north and there isn't a new crop of barbarians to contend with, but now the Empire wants their renegade province back, even if they have ignored it for years. Gerin, the warrior-king/sometime wizard must try to keep them off his back while maintaining his rulership in the North. I really enjoyed the characters, setting and plotting of all of this series. Maybe it was time for it to come to an end, but I could have done with a couple more books in this series. Good reading.

Harry Turtledove was born in Los Angeles, California on June 14, 1949. He received a Ph.D. in Byzantine history from UCLA in 1977. From the late 1970's to the early 1980's, he worked as a technical writer for the Los Angeles County Office of Education. He left in 1991 to become full-time writer. His first two novels, Wereblood and Werenight, were show more published in 1979 under the pseudonym Eric G. Iverson because his editor did not think people would believe that Turtledove was his real name. He used this name until 1985 when he published Herbig-Haro and And So to Bed under his real name. He has received numerous awards including the Homer Award for Short Story for Designated Hitter in 1990, the John Esthen Cook Award for Southern Fiction for Guns of the Southand in 1993, and the Hugo Award for Novella for Down in the Bottomlands in 1994.
