Into the Thinking Kingdoms by Alan Dean Foster

Description: A humble herdsman from an isolated tribe, Etjole Ehomba has a simple sense of honor that requires him to fu1fill a stranger's dying wish - even if it means Ehomba must cross a world and battle an unstoppable evil to rescue a woman he has never met... Ehomba and his companions, the swordsman Simna ibn Sind and the giant cat Ahlitah, have conquered all the magical perils of the Unstable Land - only to discover they must still reach the distant, fabled port of Hamacassar if they hope to find a ship that would dare to sail the impassable Semordria Ocean. And the travelers must cross kingdoms unlike any the tribesman has ever seen: "civilized" lands that are worldly, prosperous, clean...and lethal. Where honest questions are answered with lies, where treachery prevails, where citizens destroy anything they cannot control, where birds are spies, and even flowers are at war. And throughout the journey, the herdsman must keep one secret from his companions. For two seers, separated by continents, have each told Ehomba that his quest can end only in defeat...and death.
