false 1223574 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg The Deed of Paksenarrion revolves around the life of Paksenarrion Dorthansdotter, known as Paks. It takes place in a fictional medieval world comprised of kingdoms of humans, dwarves, and elves. The story begins by introducing Paks as a headstrong girl of 18, who leaves her home (fleeing a marriage arranged by her father) to join a mercenary company. Through her journeys and hardships she comes to realize that she has been gifted as a paladin. The novel was originally published in three volumes in 1988 and 1989 and as a single trade edition of that name in 1992. The three books included are The Sheepfarmer's Daughter, Divided Allegiance and Oath of Gold.]]> 96281 3 92896 1 2 1992 The Deed of Paksenarrion (omnibus) total:804|5:20|4:19|3:12|2:3|1:0| 804 3425 1009 85 10518 3.89 9826 727 3794899 76129 96281 0671721046 9780671721046 85 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171310804m/96281.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171310804s/96281.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/96281.The_Deed_of_Paksenarrion 4.27 787 Sheepfarmer's Daughter, Divided Allegiance, and Oath of Gold.
