Book description
The war that is tearing apart the ancient Empire of Saramyr is reaching
its apocalyptic conclusion. The Weavers have stepped from the shadows
and taken control, the capital is a demon-haunted nightmare, the land
ridden by pestilence. New, terrifying demons, immune to all but magic,
have been unleashed on the cities and armies of the resistance movement.
And the Aberrant hordes are seemingly without end.
As the madness of the weavers takes hold their tactics become even more
crazed and bloody, and thousands are dying on both sides. Someone must
stop the weavers, someone must discover the secrets of what lies at the
bottom of the massive pits they have dug across Saramyr.
This is the final volume of what has proved to be one of the most
original, exotic and exciting epic fantasies of the 21st century. Chris
