The final volume in the Aurora Award-winning author's epic fantasy series. "Duncan's plots add up and his characters have personalities" (Kirkus Reviews). War had engulfed the whole world. The imposter imperor ruling in Hub was the tool of the paranoid and almighty sorcerer Xinixo, who wielded the combined power of thousands of sorcerer slaves. And yet, despite his seeming omnipotence, the pathetic few who resisted him were still at liberty, even making a little progress. Xinixo's prime foe, Rap of Krasnegar, had rallied troll sorcerers to the cause and was about to try enlisting the incomprehensible elves. Fortunately, for his sanity, he did not know that his daughter, Kadie, had been carried off by goblin invaders or that his son, Gath, was heading for stark Nordland to deal with the fearsome jotnar, or that his wife, Inos, was in Guwash, negotiating with gnomes. Shandie, the rightful imperor, was with her, unaware that his wife, Impress Eshiala, believed him dead and had fled with Signifer Ylo, that notorious rake. And none of them knew about the sorcerers of Thume, especially the rebel pixie girl, Thaïle, who chafed against the secret binding of a thousand years. But the odds were still impossible and Longday was fast approaching. The sorcerers of the world foretold blood on Longday.… (altro)
Beste boek van de serie. Zou graag gezien hebben dat er een betere ontwikkeling van de personages Thail en Zinixos was. Misschien een beter motief voor Zinixo. Het leek als of er nog veel losse eindjes waren aan het einde van het boek. De uiteindelijke slag in de 'Rotonde' was vrij snel voorbij, en eigenlijk een beetje een anti-climax, behalve het feit dat Prins Gath bijna gedood werd onder een zware troon.
De oorspronkelijke serie bestaat uit 4 delen, maar in het Nederlands zijn er maar 3 delen. ( )

To my daughter Jenni, who most reasonably points out that she has never had a whole book dedicated to her alone and who certainly deserves one, this book is belatedly and lovingly dedicated.

Het was heet in huis in deze zomernacht; de hitte van de dag bleef behouden achter de sinds lang hermetisch gesloten ramen.
