Description: The siege of Arrandin is over, but the war with the East goes on. It falls to Erkal Dortrean to make peace between the Easterner chieftains and the Emperor of Lautun. The Council of Magi, decimated by the war, now faces its own internal struggles for power; and High Councillor Rhysana and her colleagues can offer Erkal little support. Meanwhile a fragile peace treaty gains the invading Southers a toehold in the city-port of Ellanguan, and Erkal’s wife Karlena must pit her wits against Southers and Lautun nobles alike to keep the Empress safe.
Erkal’s son Kellarn is torn between joining these conflicts and pursuing his own quest for a long-hidden artefact to protect all from the return of a far more deadly demonic adversary. As the immortal Fay are drawn into the affairs of humankind, deeper jealousies and treacheries are revealed and the danger to all the Dortrean family increases.
Marcus Herniman continues to weave a tale of honour, war, loyalty and deceit in one of fantasy fiction’s most strongly imagined settings.
