Domes Of Fire: David Eddings

Book I of The Tamuli. Queen Ehlana and the Pandion Knight Sir Sparhawk are married, their kingdom peaceful at last, their union blessed with their daughter Danae. But trouble soon sweeps westward from the Tamul Empire to disrupt not only the living of Eosia but the dead: horrific armies are being raised from the dust of the long-past Age of Heroes, threatening the hard-won peace in Zemoch. Sparhawk is called upon to help the Tamuli nations defeat the ancient horrors - perhaps the Troll Gods are loose in the world! With Ehlana and a retinue of Pandion Knights, Sparhawkwill make the hazardous journey to the Tamuli Empire, aided by Aphrael the Child-Goddess - only to discover in fire-domed Matherlon, the incandescent Tamuli capital, that the enemy is already within the gates.
