The Silver Sword

"With The Silver Sword, we come once again to the island continent of Ea, a dark land that has been plunged into a vortex of chaos and war. Morjin, immortal fallen angel and Lord of Lies, seeks to enslave the entire world. His dreaded assassins are everywhere, and land after land falls under his evil power. The one thing that has the potential to destroy him is an object that has been lost For ages: the fabulous Lightstone. The call to find it was sent out by one of the major rulers still free of Morjin's grip to all those who oppose the dreaded sorcerer." "Many were called; few answered. One such was Valashu Elahad, the seventh and youngest Valari, noble warrior and prince of the royal house of Mesh. With his stalwart companions, Val has braved great dangers and fought many a battle in his search for this elusive totem, all in a quest to do nothing short of remaking the world." "It looks as if this quest may be at an end, and a great victory shimmers like a beacon to the truth." "But not all images are real. Is the Lightstone within Val's grasp or has he embarked upon a road too horrible to conceive?"--BOOK JACKET.David Zindell is the author of 'The Silver Sword', published 2007 under ISBN 9780765316745 and ISBN 0765316749.
