Description:
The Darkwar rages upon Midkemia and Kelewan, bringing bleak days of destruction and despair. To save the future of both worlds, the powerful sorcerer Pug and select members of the secretive Conclave of Shadows must journey deep into the dangerous realm of the bloodthirsty Dasati, there to carry out an audacious mission that has little, if any, chance of succeeding.
In Midkemia, young warriors Tad and Zane, and their fellow soldiers, protect the Kingdom from raiders. And Pug's beloved wife, Miranda, finds herself a prisoner of the Dasati and, even more ominously, of Pug's nemesis, the evil sorcerer Leso Varen.
Salvation may come from a friend thought long dead, an unlikely ally whose remarkable powers will be sorely needed in the momentous battle to come . . . a final, fevered onslaught against the most malevolent agents of evil ever known.
From Booklist
The Darkwar saga continues but doesn’t, perhaps, conclude with a third volume showing Feist at his best. Aided by some of the ruthlessly warlike Dasati and the enigmatic youth Bek, Pug has infiltrated the Dasati homeland. Back in Midkemia, the Dasati invasion proceeds, capturing Pug’s wife, Miranda, who fortunately has more resources than Pauline ever had to deal with her perils; she is one of the strongest female characters in current high fantasy. Pug finds a friend thought long-dead in time for a climactic battle that may decide the fate of Midkemia, or not. High-class entertainment. --Roland Green
