Description: Not since Roger Zelazny has a writer so quickly gained a large and loyal following for fantasy tales of sword-sharp wit, action and inventiveness. The sequel to Phoenix Guards reunites heroes, Khaavren, Pel Aerich, and Tazendra five hundred years later and just in time for an uprising that threatens to destroy the Imperial Orb itself. This is the story of a conspiracy against the Empire that begins in the mean streets of the Underside, and flourishes in the courtly politics of the Palace where Khaavren has loyally served in the Guards this past five hundred years. It is a tale of the Dragonlord Adron's overweening schemes, of his brilliant daughter Aliera, and of the eldritch Sethra Lavode. And it is the tale of four boon companions, of love, and of revenge ... a tale from the history books of Dragaera, of the events that changed the world.
