Fantasist Raymond E. Feist returns to bring to light an extraordinary, hitherto untold chapter in the violent history of Midkemia. It is the story of a traitor - a dark elf who rejects the brutality of his warlike kind and casts his lot with the human targets of their fierce aggression. It is a towering saga of great conflicts, brave acts and insidious intrigues - of mysterious deaths among the ranks of the just and the sinister machinations of a master criminal - when the fate of many civilizations rests in the able, unfaltering hands of RiftWar veterans Squire Locklear and the cunning thief-turned-Squire James. It chronicles the powerful awakening of Owyn, an apprentice magician of untried strength and hidden depths, and celebrates the selfless achievements of Pug, the greatest magician of two worlds, who must again - though not for the last time - rise spectacularly to new heights in the cause of those who face certain annihilation.

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.
