It is a time of intrigue, fanaticism and rampaging armies. Distrust of sorcery has set off a purge of the talented mageborn – none reviled more than Arithon, Master of Shadow. Through clever manipulation of events at the hand of Lysaer, Master of Light, Arithon's very name has become Anathema. Now the volatile hatreds that spearheaded the campaign against Shadow have overtaken all reason. Those that still stand in Arithon's desperate defence are downtrodden, in retreat and close to defeat.
The stage is set for ultimate betrayal…
'Janny Wurts writes with astonishing energy: she aims high. Just when you think she's gone as far as anyone can go, she raises the stake…It ought to be illegal for one person to have so much talent'
STEPHEN R. DONALDSON
'Janny Wurts builds beautiful castles in the air…where every detail is richly imagined and vividly rendered'
DIANA GABALDON
'Like the best of Tolkien and Frank Herbert, Janny Wurts' worlds are bursting with the primal force, brimming with unforgettable characters, infused with magic both dark and glorious.'
ERIC LUSTBADER
'Here is magical tale that weaves a most wonderful song.'
DENNIS L McKIERNAN
'With each new book it becomes more and more obvious how important Janny Wurts is to contemporary fantasy.'
