The Waking Of Orthlund: Roger Taylor

Book III of The Chronicle of Hawklan. Fyorland has fallen, King Rgoric lies dead at the hands of the evil Lord Dan-Tor, who is now master of Fyorland and who is ready to unleash the Dark Lord Sumeral's power over all the lands. Yet Dan-Tor has been grievously wounded by Hawklan's arrow; not all hope is lost in the Darkness. Sylvriss, Rgoric's queen, has escaped to rally the Lords in Exile. In peaceful Orthlund, the arts of war must be painfully relearned. In the East, ancient foes of Sumeral are at last remembering their vows. All look to the healer Hawklan for leadership, but he has lain in a coma since his confrontation with Dan-Tor, walking in a world from which none can call him back. And in the mountains an ancient race stirs, but its allegiance is as yet unknown. Cover art by Mark Harrison.
