Book description
Janny Wurts's epic tale of two half-brothers cursed to life-long enmity
continues in this spectacular second volume.
The half-brothers Arithon, Master of Shadow, and Lysaer, Lord of Light,
have defeated the Mistwraith and dispersed the fogs that smothered
Athera's skies. But their victory comes at a high price: the Mistwraith
has set them at odds under a powerful curse of vengeance. The two
princes are locked in deadly enmity, with the fates of nations and the
balance of the world's mystical powers entangled in their feud.
Arithon, forced out of hiding, finds himself hounded by Lysaer and his
mighty army. He must take to his natural element - the seas - in order
to evade pursuit and steal the initiative. However, his efforts are
impeded by outside magical factions, not to mention a drunken prophet
sent to safeguard his life, but who seems determined to wreck his cause
by misadventure. 'Astonishingly original and compelling' Raymond E. Feist
