There are few epics left. One of which is getting harder and harder to obtain in the U.S, Janny Wurts’ "Wars of Light and Shadow:"
1. CURSE OF THE MISTWRAITH
2. SHIPS OF MERIOR
3. WARHOST OF VASTMARK
4. FUGITIVE PRINCE
5. GRAND CONSPIRACY
6. PERIL'S GATE
7. TRAITOR'S KNOT
8. STORMED FORTRESS (Nov. 2007 U.K)
I have hunted down each and every one of these. The first six were easy. They were published by big U.S. distributing publishers. However, number 7 TRAITOR'S KNOT, was published in the U.S. by Meisha Merlin (which closed its doors in May 2007). I had to practically fight to get one. I ended up with a first edition. I don’t think that there was a second printing in the U.S. (I could be wrong). All I know is that it took a long time, more than a year after it was published in the U.K.
However, I got a copy. So, I’m happy.
Now I see that number 8. STORMED FORTRESS is due to be published in November 2007 in the U.K. I checked amazon.com U.S. and it is not even a twinkling in their eye.
So, again, I will begin to hunt. Who will be the U.S. publisher, and when will it be released. Only time will tell.

You would think an established author like Janny Wurts would be more easily found in the States. Shows what I know. It's kind of depressing.
