The only one left uncaptured is Nish, but he is trapped in a burning watchtower, and hunted by both the scrutators and his former lover, Ullii, whose twin brother he accidentally killed. Before Nish can hope to rescue his friends, he must convince Ullii to spare him, then overcome the most powerful cabal of mancers in the world as well as the Council's four hundred crack guards.
And even if he succeeds, to win the war the allies still have to defeat the scrutators and overthrow Nennifer, the corrupt Council's dread bastion, before the rampaging lyrinx overwhelm all Santhenar.
The magnificent final book in a sweeping epic from the most successful fantasy writer of recent years. Ian Irvine is the bestselling new fantasy author of recent years in the UK. Huge appeal to readers of Tolkien, Jordan and Eddings. Ian Irvine lives in the mountains of NSW, Australia.
