It is a time of intrigue, fanaticism and rampaging armies. Distrust of sorcery has unleashed a purge of the mageborn -- none reviled more than Arithon, Master of Shadow. Through clever manipulation of events at the hands of Lysaer, Master of Light, Arithon's very name has become anathema. Now, the volatile hatreds that first spearheaded the campaign against Shadow have overtaken all reason. Those that still stand in Arithon's desperate defence are downtrodden, in retreat and close to defeat. The stage is set for ultimate betrayal.

In defeat, their foe set its captors at odds, bestowing upon them a lifelong curse of enmity that has so far woven three bitter conflicts and uncounted deadly intrigues. Arithon - Master of Shadow, mage trained and masterbard - his life has become the cipher upon which the fate of the world must turn. Lysaer - master of Light - has used his charisma to forge an Alliance of Light sworn to destroy his half-brother. It is a time of intrigue, fanaticism and rampaging armies. Distrust of sorcery has set off a purge of the talented mageborn - none reviled more than Arithon. Through clever manipulation of events at the hands of Lysaer, Arithon's very name has become anathema. Now the volatile hatreds that spearheaded the campaign against Shadow have overtaken all reason. Those that still stand in Arithon's desperate defence are downtrodden, in retreat and close to defeat. And the stage is set for the ultimate betrayal:- Review(s): "Janny Wurts writes with astonishing energy; she aims high. Just when you think she's gone as far as anyone can go, she raises the stakes.

A gifted creator of wonder" - Raymond E Feist:- (original cost £16.99). N° de réf. du vendeur 20.051.00184
