Book description
An episode in Feist's massively successful Riftwar saga.
From the endlessly inventive mind of one of fantasy's all-time greats,
comes a spellbinding new adventure featuring old favourites Jimmy,
Locklear and Pug.
It is nine years on from the aftermath of Sethanon. There has been
peace awhile and it's been needed. But news is feeding through to the
people of the Kingdom of the Isles that deadly forces are stirring on
the horizon. The bringer of the latest tidings is Gorath, a moredhel
(dark elf).
The bloodletting has started. Nighthawks are murdering again. Politics
is a dangerous, cut-throat game once more. At the root of all this
unrest lie the mysterious machinations of a group of magicians known as
The Six.
Meanwhile, renegade Tsurani gem smugglers, a rival criminal gang to the
Mockers led by someone known only as The Crawler, and traitors to the
crown are all conspiring to bring the Kingdom of the Isles to its knees.
