WAR TO THE DEATH
The Pandion Knight Sparhawk had bested the massed forces of the God
Cyrgon upon the field of battle. But victory turned to ashes when
the foul God's minions kidnapped Sparhawk's wife, the beautiful
Queen Ehlana. Sparhawk must surrender Bhelliom, the awesome jewel
of power--or Ehlana would die.
But Cyrgon's lackeys had misjudged their foe. Sparhawk fought on,
and none of his companions flinched from the awesome struggle,
though each must vanquish forces of evil from Tamuli's dark past,
and from fetid places beyond human ken.
Still, the full magnitude of their peril was yet to be
revealed...Cyrgon had dared the unthinkable: He had called forth
Kleal, Bhelliom's opposite, to rend the very world asunder. Thus,
as it had ever been decreed, would Bhelliom and Kleal contend for
the fate of this world--even as the man Sparhawk must finally face
the God Cyrgon, in mortal combat and alone...
From Publishers Weekly
In this conclusion to the trilogy begun with
Domes of Fire, Sir Sparhawk must rescue his wife, Queen Ehlana of
Elenia, from the followers of the mad god Cyrgon. Her kidnapping
occurs as various Church Knights and Atan troops are finishing what
they believe are mopping-up operations against the enemies of the
Tamuli emperor, Sarabian. Ehlana's abductor is the son of the
Styric renegade masterminding a plot against the emperor. Her safe
return is promised in exchange for Bhelliom, the powerful living
gem responsible for the destruction of the evil god Azash. The
Pandion knight Berit, disguised as Sparkhawk by a spell, moves from
place to place following the kidnappers' instructions, while
Sparhawk, in another guise, seeks allies, and the child-goddess
Aphrael (reborn as Ehlana's and Sparhawk's daughter Danae) calls on
some reluctant fellow gods to lend aid. These moves are gravely
complicated by the machinations of Cyrgon, who has unleashed Klael,
the ancient embodiment of evil. A new note of introspection gives a
fuller dimension to Eddings's rousing adventure.
