Return of a Demon King - Update
In response to a question about the current status of Return of a Demon King, which was raised by our webmaster on the Feistfans-l Mailing list today, Ray gave the following answer.
From: Raymond E. Feist
Date: 21 March 2009
Waiting for final notes and then one last rewrite, probably no more than three or four days. BTW, expect a title change; no one likes Return of the Demon King, including me.
Then on to A Kingdom Besieged.
Best, R.E.F.
So it would appear we could be seeing a new title for the book, watch this space.
