Begins a new David Eddings trilogy, set a few years after the events of The Elenium! At the conclusion of The Elenium the company of Pandion Knights led by Sir Sparhawk, having freed Queen Ehlana of Elenia from the spell which threatened her life, had marched on Zemoch, routed their enemies and defeated or destroyed the evil god Azash. Sparhawk returned to Elenia, where he and Ehlana were married. But their peaceful reign is destined not to last long. A few years later, in the Tamul Empire far to the east, unrest is brewing which threatens the nation's stability. Investigations show that the trouble is clearly of paranormal origin, and suspicion at first falls upon the Styrics. These suspicions prove unfounded, and indeed it is the pre-eminent Styric magician Zalasta who suggests that the Empire look westwards for assistance in solving their problems! specifically, to the legendary warrior Sparhawk.

From the Back Cover:

PRINCE SPARHAWK AND THE TROLL-GODS

Queen Ehlana and the Pandion Knight Sir Sparhawk are married, their kingdom peaceful at last, their union blessed with a very special daughter named Danae. But soon trouble sweeps westward from the Tamul Empire to disrupt not only the living of Eosia but the dead: horrific armies are being raised from the dust of the long past Age of Heroes, threatening the peace won at such cost in Zemoch.

Prince Sparhawk is called upon to help the Tamuli nations defeat these ancient horrors. Perhaps the Troll-Gods are once more loose in the world! With Ehlana and a retinue of Pandion Knights, Sparhawks will make the hazardous journey to the Tamuli Empire, aided by Aphrael the child Goddess ... only to discover in fire domed Matherion, the incandescent Tamuli capital, that the enemy is already within its gates.

'Domes of Fire' begins a spectacular new David Eddings trilogy, THE TAMULI. Full of marvels and humour, full of romance and shrewdness, above all full of magic, the resources of the epic form are mined deep by the greatest of modern fantasy writers.
