The next book in the Shandahar duology
by T.R. Chowdhury and T.M. Crim
Coming in June 2007...
As the shadow of evil falls over the world, a group of young wanderers must rise to meet the threat. Wielding magic and weapons of war they will fight, but only the one foretold in an ancient prophecy can save Shandahar from centuries of incarceration, giving life and hope for an untold future.
Adrianna Darnesse
With Lord Thane defeated, she now finds herself as an apprentice of Master Tallachienan Chroalthone, one of the greatest sorcerers who has ever walked Shandahar. Under his instruction, she hopes to learn to harness the power that will help in her fight against the Deathmaster, the dark sorcerer known as Aasarak. But even though Adrianna is removed from her companions and the risks inherent in their journey, she must face her own daemons behind the dark walls of Tallachienan's citadel.
Sirion Timberlyn
Suddenly bereft of the presence of Adrianna at his side, he begins an internal struggle. Still unknowing of his role in an ages-old prophecy, he fights his desire to bring Adrianna back to his side, not understanding that it is his nature, and his responsibility in life to be her only protector. As Sirion senses the danger to her coming nearer, his perceptions of reality become jaded, and he soon becomes trapped within a battle he may not be able to escape.
The Deathmaster
Having learned the use of the Azmathion, he has succeeded in amassing his largest army ever and is determined to bring Shandahar to its knees, just as he has done in previous Cycles. With each revolution Aasarak has only grown stronger, and he knows that the Cycle will come when he will have enough power to greatly influence the next Cycle, earning him entrance into a pantheon heretofore reserved only for those descendent of the most ancient of bloodlines.
A war will be waged that will determine the fate of the world forever.
Despite the failure of previous Cycles, the Wildrunners are determined to win their fight against Aasarak. Adrianna's newfound skills will be great, but will they be enough to tip the Balance? Or will it take more than just power for the world to give birth to a new era?
