Erik von Darkmoor has trained well and fought valiantly in the service of the Prince - and has risen up through the ranks to become a respected leader of men. Though still young in years, both he and boyhood friend Rupert "Roo" Avery - one of Krondor's preeminent merchants and one of the Kingdom's richest men - have been aged by experience. And each has an essential role to play in the cataclysm that is to come - as has every warrior, tradesperson, thief, spellweaver, spy, royal, and subject alike who stands to lose far more than life alone to the invading forces of darkness. For a demon king has escaped a world already devoured to feed on one consumed by chaos and war. A foul and terrifying thing, a nightmare creature of dark and murderous nature, it seeks to own and corrupt the very source of life itself. And soon more of its dread kind will follow - unless the most powerful sorcerers in the embattled realm can close forever a demon-spilling rift...and unlock a mystery far more dangerous and profound than anything ever known before.

Raymond E. Feist
Amerikansk forfatter som er blevet et af de største navne inden for fantasy. Han startede med at skrive romanen "Magician" som blev delt I to bind. Her lærte vi Pug, Tomas og alle de andre at kende. Siden har det udviklet sig til det som kaldes for "The Riftwar Saga", men serien fortsatte med en trilogi som foregik I Kelewan, den ene af verdenerne i den foregående serie. Og der er kommet "The Serpentwar Saga" som introducerer nye personer, samt "The Riftwar Legacy" som fylder nogle af hullerne mellem de tidligere bøger.
