Product Description
Forty years after the Oblivion crisis, the empire of Tamriel is threatened by a mysterious floating city, Umbriel, whose shadow spawns a terrifying undead army.
Reeling from a devastating discovery, Prince Attrebus continues on his seemingly doomed quest to obtain a magic sword that holds the key to destroying the deadly invaders. Meanwhile, in the Imperial City, the spy Colin finds evidence of betrayal at the heart of the empire if his own heart doesn't betray him first. And Annaïg, trapped in Umbriel itself, has become a slave to its dark lord and his insatiable hunger for souls.
How can these three unlikely heroes save Tamriel when they cannot even save themselves?
Based on the award-winning Elder Scrolls® series, Lord of Souls is the second of two exhilarating novels that continue the story from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, named 2006 Game of the Year by numerous outlets, including Spike TV, the Golden Joystick Awards, and the Associated Press.

Format:Paperback
As a fan of the game series The Elder Scrolls I was interested to hear a book had been released detailing a story following after the events of 'Oblivion', but cautious as to what to expect of how accurately (or not) an author might depict the region of Tamriel, it's peoples, cultures, and other-worldly beings....
The growing trend of books being written based on videogame worlds may still be seen as a fringe subject within literature, and therefore little expected in the way of quality of writing. But, a mainstay of the Elder Scrolls series is not only the open to explore game locations, but also of a carefully concieved world, formed with intricate storytelling within the fabric of the games. In the quests you yourself can play through, the extensive conversation of multitude characters, and notably; the many IN game books.
The first book, although with a few issues unpopular with some readers, held my interest enough to buy this sequel, and I'm glad I did. There's a lot crammed into this book and it feels the author has really dived into the game-world this time, bringing us face to face with the terrible and mysterious Daedra, familiar creatures, places, factions, and characters.
There are little mentions of goings on in the world, new characters involved, intrigue and plots quickening as time runs out and everything comes together. -And our 'heroes' adapting, and not nessesarily for the better; but to survive and save what they can....
I dont care if literature snobs might think you cant be inspired or thrilled by a game-based book. This one for me has passed the biggest test. -To qualify as part of the Elder Scrolls series.

Format:Paperback
I didn't enjoy Lord of Souls as much as The Infernal City, but it was still an incredible book that I could not put down. The story was very compelling throughout and the ending was superb. If you're not a fan or are unfamiliar with the Elder Scrolls series this won't be for you. If you are a fan get both books now!
Format:Paperback
Read this before Bethesda even announced that they were bringing out a new Elder Scrolls game (Skyrim) as I was craving for more of their fantasy world adventures! This book is fantastic. It appears to be written by an author who is, himself, passionate about the ES universe. Lots of references to places and events from past ES games. Took me less than a week to read, as I was so engrossed, and I am NOT a regular book reader. Definitely recommended!!
