Long ago, the Mages of Alasea, beset by a dark and implacable evil, made a last desperate stand to preserve some remnant of their once-beautiful land. Knowing their own destruction to be inevitable, the Mages gathered the last of their magic and stored it away against the need and peril of a distant time. In doing so the Mages gave the people of Alasea a future and a hope - and damned themselves forever . . .
Now, five centuries after their destruction, the power of the Mages is about to be unleashed.
Enticing and enthralling...
This novel is a wonder. The story flows with ease, without a hint of predictability. The characters are intriguing and you will quickly find yourself enthralled and utterly entranced with the complexity of these wonderful beings. The forewords are a must read and an interesting thought which lingers in the back of your mind as you read. Be warned though, you will find the completion of this novel to be the start of an addiction you will not find sated until the final word of the final novel of this series... even then you will perhaps hunger for more...
