The long-awaited beginning of the fourth story arc - Sword of
the Canon - in the epic fantasy series, the Wars of Light and
Shadow.
Betrayed and double-crossed, Arithon s Ffalenn is held captive
by the Order of the Koriathain. The desperate Fellowship Sorcerers
have gambled the weal of Athera and forced through the perilous
bargain that spared him, as the last Prince of Rathain, and their
sole hope of unity. To suspend the Prime Matriarch s decree of
execution, Arithon lives only to battle Marak s horde of free
wraiths, unleashed one by one from the shielding grip of the star
wards.
But on the day the last wraith is redeemed, the inflexible terms
sealed by Dakar s oath of debt will be forfeit
Against a backdrop in which the Religion of Light has undergone
schism, the fanatical True Sect s high priesthood stands consumed
by its thwarted ambition: to conquer Havish, the backbone of order
that secures the terms of Paravian survival. Now Lord Mayor of
Etarra, Lysaer s Ilessid must fight the pull of the Mistwraith s
curse, and battle for sanity to uphold his just ethic. Another
young defender will stand at his side, newly sworn by the Sorcerer
s auspices.
As Arithon s life once again becomes the fulcrum that shifts the
game board, Elaira s choice might save or break the unstable
future; while at large and answerable to no mortal law, Davien and
the dragon that holds his service throw in the wild card no one
predicts "
