The acclaimed international bestseller in a fresh new jacket.

Axis has fled to Talon Spike, the home of the Icarii, where he must learn to wield his Enchanter powers to fulfil the Prophecy. Somehow he must lead the Icarii and the Avar back into Achar, defeat his half-brother, Borneheld, and reunite the former kingdom of Tencendor under his rule.

Meanwhile, Gorgrael waits impatiently for winter, to continue his destructive drive into the heart of Achar…

Douglass skilfully moves her characters through this fantastic world where family ties can be deadly and love does not always conquer all.

‘Epic storytelling on a par with Terry Goodkind and Robert Jordan.’ – Library Journal
