Description

From acclaimed New York Times bestselling fantasists Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman comes the spellbinding conclusion to the epic adventure of wonder, courage, magic, and ambition that is the breathtaking world of the Sovereign Stone. Over two hundred years have passed since the mystical Sovereign Stone was shattered and the world of Loerem faced its most dangerous test ever--the rise of the dark lord Dagnarus. But now Dagnarus has stirred from the Void and seeks the utter conquest of all show more Loerem. Leading a seemingly unstoppable horde of bestial, powerful minions and a host of insidious undead, Dagnarus captures mortal kingdom after mortal kingdom, until he stands before the very gates of New Vinnengael, as traitors within the city plot to yield the crown to the undead lord. In the darkness and turmoil that follows, all heroes must first master their own fears and weaknesses before they can take up the fight to stop Dagnarus, and the company spreads across many lands to face many perils. Mortally wounded by a Blood-knife wielded by an undead Vrykyl knight, the Baron Shadamehr lies dying, and even the many skills of his beautiful, beloved Alise may not be able to save him. Others face desperate journeys through hostile lands and difficult tests of character. And, unsuspected, a deadly Vrykyl stalks the pecwae Bashae--and his precious burden, the human portion of the Sovereign Stone--through the streets of New Vinnengael. Yet the gods have their own plans for this imperiled land, and drawn by an unknown call, the Dominion Lords head for the Portal of the Gods, the mystical, haunted site of Dagnarus's terrible treachery two hundred years beforehand. For if all the parts of the sundered Sovereign Stone can be reunited, the Dominion Lords can stop Dagnarus's unholy plans for domination. But one piece is still missing. . . . As the past and present converge in a desperate race to determine the future, an unlikely hero will arise. A man who will become far more than he ever dreamed possible and who holds the fate of all Loerem in his hands. And to save Loerem he must venture into a realm of utter terror and darkness . . . into the very blackness of the Void itself. show less

Loerem is vol gevaar: het is een wereld vol wonderlijke schoonheid en genadeloos bedrog, bevolkt door mensen, elfen, dwergen en orken in een wankel evenwicht van macht en eigenbelang. Een wereld geregeerd door de Domeinheren, strijders van vlees en bloed, maar gevormd door de heilige magie van de Verheven Steen. En daar, in het hart van Loerem, sluimert een allesbehalve vergeten kwaad.

Alise heeft zich in het Einde gestort om Shadamehr te redden, de man die zij boven alles liefheeft. Maar zij betaald een hoge prijs voor haar daad: ze is voor altijd aangetast door de magie die ze voor de reis nodig had.

Shadamehr, teruggekeerd van de drempel van de dood, moet in het reine komen met zichzelf en zijn demonen. Het enige dat hij kan doen is show more zijn lot in eigen handen nemen, de Verheven Steen ontdekken en die terugbrengen naar zijn rechtmatige plaats, in de armen van de Scheppers. Dat betekent een krachtmeting met Dagnarus, de gevreesde machtswellusteling... show less
Drie dikke pillen waarvan ik de eerste matig maar wel aardig vond en de daaropvolgende twee leuker. Fantasy en leidend aan alle euvels waar degenen die niet van Fantasy houden zich aan storen. Inconsistenties, alles oplossende magie, rare tussenstappen, redelijk voorspelbaar; ik bleef kleine irritaties tegenkomen.

Tegelijkertijd is het wel aardig geschreven en heb ik het best met plezier uitgelezen. Gebaseerd op een rollenspel, dus veel karakterbeschrijvingen en tussendoorverhaaltjes.

In de klasse van lekker weglezende fantasy is het een hele aardige middenmoter.
Han pasado doscientos años desde que la Gema Soberana quedó fragmentada y los humanos de Loerem tuvieron que hacer frente al ascenso del Señor Oscuro. Dagnarus se ha alzado desde el Vacío y se adueña de un reino tras otro. En medio de la oscuridad y la confusión que desencadena, los héroes deben vencer sus propios miedos y debilidades antes de impedir su avance, y el grupo se dispersa para afrontar un sinfín de peligros.
