In "The Jackal Of Nar", Prince Richius forsook his command in the savage war that was tearing apart the lands of Nar and Lucel-Lor in search of the woman who had captured his heart in the briefest of moments. In "The Grand Design" he had to thwart Biagio's plan to destroy him and his family while a new war raged in Nar following the death of the Emperor. But now, in amongst the shadowed towers, and cloud wreathed spires of Nar's great city a new plot against him is being hatched and a new phase in the conflicts that have torn apart Nar is brewing.
John Marco has created a richly imagined world full of characters with believable flaws and motivations fighting a war full of darkness shot through with the light of dangerous magic.
