Book IV of The Chronicles of Hawklan. The evil Lord Dan-Tor has at last been driven out of Fyorland and retreated to Narsindal, the realm of his dread master Sumeral. But Hawklan and his allies have won only a breathing space, for Dan-Tor is gathering his forces for a massive onslaught on all the free lands. An alliance of the free peoples must be forged, even those of peaceful Orthlund, to stand against Sumeral's dark army. The dwellers in the air and the mysterious inhabitants beneath the mountains must also play a part. A brave alliance, yet it can do little more than stave off the hour of defeat for a short time - but long enough, perhaps, for a last desperate chance to be taken. For Hawklan and the raven, Gavor, the road ahead is lonely and unknown, for they must confront Sumeral himself - and in doing so, discover at last the secret that lies buried deep in Hawklan's soul.

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.
