About this title

From the Back Cover:

A GLORIOUS NEW EPIC FANTASY FROM THE WRITER OF THE BEST-SELLING 'LOREMASTERS OF ELUNDIUM'

The Kingdom of Elendium is recovering from the great battles that have wracked its folk and its landscape. The darkness of the evil Krulshards has at last been swept away: but all is not well.

The people are uneasy and suspicious: once more there are reports of Nightbeasts roaming the greenways, murdering the travellers and destroying property; and with them, it is said, run the tunnellers, the tiny creatures now released by King Thane from their prisons to garden the wilderness.

Meanwhile, in the Kings City, young Drib, crippled sweep’s boy, persecuted by his fellow students in the grim Learning Halls, dreams of a different life; a life in which his legs are straight and he rides a beautiful horse across a magical landscape ...
