In the epic conclusion of the Deverry fantasy saga, as the Horsekin continue to push their religious crusade to the very borders of the kingdom, the humans of Deverry and their elven allies, with the magical aid of Dallandra and Valandario and the power of the great dragons Arzosah and Rori, battle to reveal the secrets that can protect the Northlands from ultimate conquest.

‘Much as I dislike comparing anything to The Lord of the Rings, I have to admit that on this occasion it’s justified’ Interzone
