of destruction, has risen in strength from the ashes of defeat. There is
one, however, who defies the call to battle... New York Times

wonders and magic-where war is an enduring legacy; where blood swells
the rivers and nourishes the land. Attend to this hitherto untold
chapter in the violent history of Midkemia -- a towering saga of great
conflicts, brave acts and insidious intrigues. It is the story of a
traitor who rejects the brutality of his warlike kind and casts his lot
with the human targets of their fierce aggression. It tells of
mysterious deaths and sinister machinations -- and signs of a time when
the fate of many civilizations rested in the able, unfaltering hands of
RiftWar veterans Squire Locklear and cunning their-turned-squire Jimmy
the Hand. It chronicles the powerful awakening of Owyn -- apprentice
magician of untried strengths -- and celebrates the selfless
achievements of Pug, the great sorcerer of two worlds. Welcome now to
astonishing new corners of a world you have not yet fully explored-and
prepare to experience true excitement, blood chilling terror...and the
triumph born from the doom aimed at the beating heart of a kingdom.
