We have a couple of new entries in fantasy series by popular authors.

Renegade's Magic is the third installment of Robin Hobb's "Soldier Son" trilogy (after Shaman's Crossing and Forest Mage). In this book, soldier Nevare Burvelle becomes a fugitive when condemned for a murder he did not commit. On the run and shunned by everyone except Lisana, he beings to realize that the Speck magic that has caused him so much pain and despair might actually be harnessed and used for his own purposes. But what will happen to the new Nevare?
