"Here in a single volume is a completely new and self-contained epic from the modern masters of fantasy. This book is set on the grandest scale in an entirely new, magical world. Althalus- burglar, armed robber and occasional murderer - is commissioned to steal a book by a mysterious cloaked stranger named Ghend. Althalus sets off to the House at the End of the World where the book is kept - after stealing Ghend's cloak: after all, winter is coming on. At the House at the End of the World, in the same room as the book Ghend described, he finds a talking cat. What he can't find once he's in the house is the door by which he entered. By the time he manages to escape - with the cat, Emerald, in the hood of his (Ghend's) cloak - Althalus can read. He's read the Book of Deiwos, and discovered a tool mightier than the blunt instrument he once used to disable his victims. But there is another Book, written by the god Daeva who is the evil brother of Deiwos, and who is trying to unmake the world. The existence of the world hangs in the balance in this fabulous and extraordinary story of The Redemption of Althalus.the rogue destined to steal the hearts and minds of readers."  from the front fold over panel blurb.
