A thousand years have passed since the Sunspear, an ancient weapon
forged by the Gods, was lost to the sight of men in the last great
battle of the Raven Wars. Now, the Dark God again reaches out from
the Land of Eternal shadow to touch the world with his evil. The
Goddess Danu gives Ciaran, a young Celtae warrior powerful in the
Psi, the vast psionic power of the subconscious mind, the quest of
finding the Sunspear. If he fails, the Dark God's Long Night will
fall over the world forever. The quest leads him ever deeper into
the Forbidden Lands, perilous realm of the Shadow, where he is
pursued by the Dark God's evil Ring Lords, who also search for the
Sunspear. The Ring Lords, however, are not Ciaran's only worry. The
Dark God sends one of his First Born, a Shaadhul mind-slayer, into
the world to capture him and bring him to the Stone of Tears where
he will either accept the Dark God as his Master or be cast into
the Well of Souls. As he strives to elude the Shadow Lord's
hunters, Ciaran must confront his forbidden love of Danu's tiny
priestess, RILLSONG. He is further assailed with guilt over his
infatuation with the beautiful Shadow Druidess, ISENGAEL who
captures his beloved foster sister KIARA and gives her to the Ring
Lords. In the Valley of the Gods, he rescues Isengael and her
half-Elven Ahati warriors from the deadly, Halfsouled Draugr.
Joining forces, they fight their way through hordes of the
near-immortal beings to reach the lost city of Gorias where Ciaran
claims the Sunspear. Using the ancient weapon's god-like power, he
destroys the Ring Lords' army that pursued him to Gorias, killing
thousands of warriors, and laughing as their dying screams fill his
ears. Only then does he realize that the greatest evil he has to
overcome is not the Dark God, but the darkness that dwells within
him. He must both learn to use the enormous power of the Sunspear
wisely and keep his Darksoul at bay. If it gains control, he will
become a creature of shadow, a Soultaken.
