'Definitely on of the most entertaining and ultimately satisfying reads that I've had the pleasure to enjoy during the past few years.' - THE ALIEN ONLINE
'This is exactly what the fantasy genre needs. Mature, confident prose from a talented writer...compelling, assured, intelligent - five stars' - SFX
In a world he did not know, Poldarn's future was uncertain. Pursued by invisible enemies, and haunted by the demons of his past, he trusted no one - not even himself. He thought that he might have found some answers on the island he thought to be his childhood home ... but instead he has found only the rumour of a past in darkness.
But now Poldarn has at last discovered the truth of his terrifying origins ... and that truth may be more than he - or anyone - can bear.
The brilliant final volume in K.J. Parker's page-turning and ground-breaking fantasy trilogy.
