In a realm where magic is life, Joram was one of the Dead. Born without power, he was denied his royal birthright and sentenced to the Turning – his mind to be imprisoned inside a husk of living stone.
Yet
at the lat moment, Saryon took his place, suffering the eternal torment
for his young master. And Joram and his wife Gwendolyn vanished into
the mists that marked the Border of the World...
Now, ten years
later, Joram and Gwendolyn have returned to reclaim their rightful
place in Merilon. Wielding one last time the terrible, magic-thirsting
Darksword, Joram must confront the evil sorcerer Menju and his army of
Technologists from beyond the Border in a final apocalyptic battle.
Rejoined
by Saryon, the mage Mosiah and Simkin, Joram will fulfill the ancient
prophecy of the Darksword – the prophecy that puts in his hands the
power to destroy the world... or save it.
