Synopsis

In a land where magic defines the social order, the ruling tyrants alone control the most powerful sorcery ...

One of the last of a massacred race of warriors -- an unparalleled swordsman magically afflicted by spells of blind, uncontrollable rage -- Reeth Caldason wanders Bhealfa seeking vengeance ... and freedom from his strange malady. Now word has come from a sorcerer's apprentice of a mysterious Covenant in the capital city, a secretive society that may provide the escape Reeth desires. But forming an uneasy alliance with the youthful messenger could ultimately prove disastrous -- for the road they musttravel together leads into the sordid heart of a perilous conspiracy of treachery, tyranny, necromancy, and death.

About this title

Review:

"A suitably complex and nicely written new fantasy series... Good sword and sorcery...An enjoyable journey, so far."--San Diego Union-Tribune

From the Author:

To avoid disappointment, readers should note that The Covenant Rising is the American title of the novel published in the UK as Quicksilver Rising. The two subsequent volumes in the trilogy have also been re-titled for the American market -book 2 (Quicksilver Zenith) will be called The Righteous Blade and book 3 (Quicksilver Twilight) will appear as The Diamond Isle.
