Book description
Tricked once more by his wily half-brother, Lysaer arrives at the tiny

of light and shadow circle and feint, drawing ever closer to a huge conflict.
Tricked once more by his wily half-brother, Lysaer, Lord of Light,
arrives at the tiny harbour town of Merior to find that Arithon's ship
yards have been abandoned and meticulously destroyed, and that the
Master of Shadow has disappeared as if into thin air.
Meanwhile Arithon and the Mad Prophet Dakar are travelling on foot
through the treacherous Kelhorn Mountains towards the Vastmark clans,
there to raise further support for his cause. But raising a warhost is a
costly business. Is it mere coincidence that Princess Talith - Lysaer's
beautiful, headstrong wife - is taken captive and held for a vast ransom
by a master brigand?
The forces of light and shadow circle and feint, drawing ever closer to
a huge conflict. And in the background the Fellowship of Seven Sorcerers
and the Koriani Enchantresses watch and plan, and wait… Janny Wurts is
the author of the Cycle of Fire series, co-author of the worldwide
bestselling Empire series with Raymond E. Feist, and is currently
working on the Wars of Light and Shadow series. She often paints her own
covers and is also an expert horsewoman, sailor, musician and archer.
