Aglirta is known as the Kingless Land. Once a prosperous and peaceful
river valley, it has fallen into lawlessness, and its feuding baronies
are engaged in a constant state of war. But the land is kingless no
more, for the Sleeping King of legend, King Kelgrael, has been
reawakened by the efforts of the valiant Band of Four:
- Hawkril, a bold and brave warrior gifted with great strength and fortitude
- Craer, the crafty and clever thief
- Sarasper, the learned and wise healer and last but not least
- Lady Embra Silvertree, the mystical Lady of Jewels, a powerful sorceress
Yet
peace has not returned. In The Kingless Land, high magic and wizard
kings stood in the way, while in The Vacant Throne, civil wars and
backstabbing barons resisted the restoration of order.
Now, a
powerful warlord comes to the front to take control through military
might, while the diabolic minions of the Serpent move into position for
a climactic battle that will scar the Band of Four forever.
