Jimmy The Hand
This story takes place right after Jimmy waves good-bye to Prince Arutha and Princess Anita, helping them to escape from Krondor. Del Garza is so furious and embarrassed by this, that he has all the unlicensed whores and beggars locked up to be executed. Flora being one of those, Jimmy devised a plan to rescue them from the dungeon, with the help of Alban Asher?s magic. By doing this, Jimmy disobeys a direct order from the Upright Man, and is told to leave Krondor and to never return, or he will be made example of. Flora convinces him to travel to her grandfather?s in Land?s End. Once in Land?s End, Lorrie?s family is butchered, they?re farm burned to the ground, and her brother, Rip is kidnapped. She goes off in search to rescue her brother, and is saved by Jimmy from some thief-takers. They get themselves caught up in some real bad trouble and magic. Jimmy is pressured by Flora to go in search of Rip, and rescue him from the kidnappers. Lorrie?s sweetheart, Bram returns from hunting and goes after Lorrie, and will discover a dark secret about himself. Baron Bernarr is entangled with Lyman Malachy, deep in the dark arts. This is the best of the three Legends Of The Riftwar books! I absolutely loved it!
