Muus is only a thrall, a chattel without rights, but he knows the
small, blue shard he picked up belongs to him alone. Kjelle, heir
to the Lord of a rich mininghold, is strong, and covetous of his
thrall's tantalizing find. The one's greed causes an avalanche that
leaves both young men marooned on an icy mountain slope. The
other's commonsense saves their lives from cold and starvation. Now
the antagonists are bound together on a danger-laden journey to a
lost and burning land, where Muus needs to connect the skyshard to
the Kalmanir, the standing stone that is the world's fount of all
magic. The Kalmanir's time is almost up and it urgently needs to be
replenished before the magic of Gods and men runs out. The two
antagonists have to learn to trust each other, for all around them,
enemies abound. Rebels threaten both the kingdom and Kjelle's
holding, and a tribe of mad idolaters is trying to recall the
banned primordial Old Gods. Even more imminent is Muus' danger, for
it comes from nearby, from the shard itself. Muus is the only one
person in the world who can wield the powerful skyshard. Will he
succeed with Kjelle's help to reach the standing stone before the
world's magic dies? Shardfall is an epic, non-gritty journey
through a wild, snowy land. Each of the four main characters, Muus,
Kjelle, the young wisewoman Birthe with her baby son Bui and the
naive Tuuri, who serves the enemy, will have to overcome not only
the dangers of their journey, but also their own shortcomings. ----
