Shunned by brigands and merchants alike, it is home to fearsome wild things and legends that freeze the blood–tales that speak of slavering white beasts, locked behind a powerful wall of spells, who possess an insatiable appetite for death.

SALVATORE Author of Mortalis"Gemmell is very talented; his characters are vivid and very convincingly realistic."–CHRISTOPHER STASHEFF Author of the Wizard of Rhyme novels
