The big, bad, black lies of the worst kind - the ones that bring death and destruction to those we love - are the lies we tell to ourselves.
Death and destruction surround the Lightstone in the second book of the magnificent and deeply moving Ea Cycle fantasy epic. Valashu Elahad, Valari knight and seventh son of the King of Mesh, has wrested the Cup of Heaven from the hall of Morjin the Liar, the Great Red Dragon. As Lord Guardian of the Lightstone, Val must find the Maitreya, the one person to whom its secrets will be revealed. Even so, the power of the Lightstone pours through Val like a golden flame. There are many who believe Val himself to be the Maitreya. Val, though, can find no voice of certainty within himself. Three things a Valari warrior is taught: to wield a sword; to follow the Law of the One; and to tell the truth. But what is the truth of Val's destiny? He knows only that if a man proclaims himself falsely to be the Shining One, then he shall become a new Red Dragon, only mightier and more terrible.
Then the scryer Kasandra declares a new prophecy that: "You, Valashu Elahad, will find the Maitreya in the darkest of places; the blood of the innocent will stain your hands; a man with no face will show you your own."
What is Val's true face? And what could be darker than finding the Lord of Lies inside the cavern of his own heart?
Lord Of Lies continues the internationally acclaimed Ea Cycle, which began with The Lightstone. If you enjoy fast-paced adventure, a startling new cosmology, and an intricately-made world as rich as Tolkien's and with all the magic of an Arthurian romance, you'll love this book.
