Second Book in the Dragon Star series and sequel to Stronghold
A generation of peace among the Sunrunners has been shattered by a seemingly unstoppable invasion force. Now the time has come to fight...
Prince Pol and Maarken, his most valued general, must rally their forces in a desperate attempt to halt the advance of the faceless army. But, unknown to the High Prince, the alliance of the Sunnrunners has been dangerously weakened . . .
As Pol leads his troops into battle, Andry, Lord of Goddess Keep, is also determined to take the attack to the enemy. To claim vengence for loved ones slain - and to protect Sunnrunners from a foe who has sworn to slay all workers of magic . . .
In the coming fight to reclaim the hallowed Treasures of the Desert, the High Prince's army is waged against the invaders - and the betrayers in their own ranks. But only the loyal followers of Andry and Pol are ready to pay the ultimate price - the price that includes their lives . . .
