Description: What began as the latest outburst in an ancient feud between two families, the Renne and the Wills, has erupted into a worldwide cataclysm of war and sorcery. Ancient wizards awaken with the power to create or destroy worlds, and dark knights make pacts with beings from the lands of Death. Against the tide of war stands a small group of people, including the Lady Elise Wills and a wanderer named Alaan. This conclusion to Russell's epic trilogy (The Isle of Battle; The One Kingdom) offers a wealth of intrigue, magic, and battles both on the battlefield and in the characters' hearts and minds.
