Description
Returning to one of their best-loved fantasy series, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman bring alive a sweeping tale of intrigue and magic. It is twenty years since the once-magical land of Thimhallan was shattered by the forging of the Darksword. The survivors of that catastrophe now live on Earth, bereft of magic and hope, forbidden to return home. Only Joram remains behind on the world ravaged by his Darksword. Although the magic weapon has been destroyed--and with it, Joram's show more power--rumors have risen that Joram has forged a second Darksword. Now, as a merciless alien race threatens Earth with annihilation, Earth's desperate leaders look to Joram as their only hope. But even as his old friend Saryon begins the perilous journey to seek his aid, the embittered Joram has his own plans for the weapon. And Joram is not the only one. Soon a new menace looms, foreshadowing betrayal, enslavement, and death to humans and Thimhallans alike. show lessTags

I really enjoyed the Darksword Trilogy and this was okay as a 10 year later try and tie up all the loose ends kinda book, but it just felt like something was lacking. It had all the great characters from the earlier trilogy, and it had the great writing style of Weis and Hickman, but just wasn't as good as I had hoped or wanted. Still glad I read it though and I will always be a fan of their work.
one star, because it had a dragon in it. but if you liked the trilogy, stay away from this book. it will make your head ache or explode.
DARKSWORD
Na de vernietiging van het Doodszwaard is de magie verdwenen. Het toverrijk Merilon is woest en ledig; tussen de ruïnes van de vroegere koningsstad woont nog maar één gezin: Joram met zijn vrouw Gwendolyn en zijn dochter Eliza.
In de huidige wereld krijgt de oude Saryon bezoek van Mosiah, die ooit Jorams beste vriend was en nu deel uitmaakt van de verschrikkelijke Duuk-tsarith. Hij wil dat Saryon Joram overhaalt een nieuw DoodsZwaard te smeden, want de mensheid wordt bedreigd door een kwaad en duister ras, de Hch'nyv.
Dan wordt in Merilon een grimmige wedloop ontketend, waarin alles geoorloofd is... Ten slotte brengt de Draak van de Nacht zijns ondanks redding.

Tras la destrucción de la Espada Arcana, la magia desapareció casi por completo y la tecnología obtuvo el respeto que se le había negado durante tanto tiempo, fusionándose incluso con las artes mágicas para producir una ciencia llamada tecnomancia. Pero ahora, una fuerza siniestra intenta que la magia regrese al mundo, al mismo tiempo que una raza extraterrestre amenaza a todos los planetas habitados, con la clara intención de destruir a la humanidad. Sólo queda una última esperanza: localizar una nueva Espada Arcana que acaba de ser forjada y rechazar a los extraterrestres de forma definitiva.
