Sparhawk, the greatest of Pandion Knights, has offered freedom to the Troll-Gods trapped in the Blue Rose in exchange for their aid in fighting Cyrgon, the sinister god of the Cyrgai. But Cyrgon has turned to the unspeakable arts of Zemoch magic in his war against the Tamuli Empire. He has brought back to the world the very essence of evil which was cast out at the beginning of time by Azash and the other elder Gods. Klael! As ancient as the Blue Rose, and as powerful.
The ultimate battle between the Blue Rose and Klael must be fought - though Ehlana is held prisoner by the enemy in the Hidden City.
The final, breathtaking volume of The Tamuli reveals David Eddings at his triumphant best.
