From the Back Cover

It is known as the Coming, and the very word strikes fear into the hearts of the people of Dharbek. Once every half century the Worldwinds change, and the Ahn send magical airboats from their fortress islands to wage war on the Dhar. Now, having mastered a powerful new sorcery, the Ahn plan the greatest Coming of all - a merciless conquest of the lands they once owned and a total destruction of the hated Dhar. But Daviot, a Dhar storyteller and memory of his people, has an impossible dream - to bring peace to the two warring races. His only allies are a beautiful blind mage; an Ahn warrior who has forgotten his history and heritage; and a beast-man, a hybrid creation of cynical magic, rebelling against a lifetime of persecution and servitude. Together they journey to the lost lands of the north to search for the one weapon that will ensure that the Dhar and the Ahn listen to this small band of dreamers. But they may find that a weapon of peace can wreak far greater destruction than generations of war....
