I keep hearing some promising things about Sean Russell and his series called The Swans' War. I believe it is going to be a trilogy, of which two books are completed, The One Kingdom and The Isle of Battle. It sounds perhaps a bit reminisent of Martin, of a kingdom torn apart by a civil war between Great Houses, with a lot of scheming and political intrigue, and with a great and dark mysterious magic lurking in the background... Has anyone given him a try? I think I would like to as soon as the concluding book is completed... Incidentally, I have heard that the second book is dedicated to Stephen R. Donaldson and to their joint agent, Howard Morhaim...
