The final volume of the "Barrow" saga gathers together all the diverse plot lines of BARROW III: THE QUESTS OF WINTER. To save the city, there must be three great land battles, intervention by the Elves, the return of the Lost Tellarani, escape from imprisonment by pirates and defeat of the pirate fleet, magic, bravery, and sacrifice. The continual action roars to a close from many directions. (Though there may be more "Barrow" books someday, the reader won't be disappointed by an unsatisfying lack of ending and closure.) I cried for my "little people" as I re-read the manuscript. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. - John Deakins .
