The Paladin Of Night: Margaret Weis and Tracey Hickman

Book II of The Rose Of The Prophet. The Great War of the Gods means nothing to the proud people of the mortal plane - until Akhran the Wandering God decrees the union of two mighty feuding clans. Though the families are fierce warriors, they are few in number. Even the marriage of Khardan and Zohra is not enough to overpower the strength of the invading army. Now, with Khardan and Zohra mysteriously missing, the two clans have lost all hope of ever seeing their beloved open skies. But Prince Khardan and Princess Zohra, aided by the wizard Mathew, have been given another mission - one that seems at first futile but will prove to have far-reaching consequences.
