With a price on both their heads, he had to find her before the Circle did. Only then could he hope to fulfil his self-imposed pledge to confront the gods themselves-for they alone could destroy the stone and the evil within it. But if that evil once touched him, Tarod would be forced to face the truth of his own heritage. show more A heritage that could trigger a titanic conflict of occult forces, and set him on the ultimate quest for vengeance... show less

Conclusion to Cooper’s Master trilogy, in which she successfully shifts the focus so that the Bad Guy protagonist and his cute sidekick, pursued separately by the forces of order, now engage our sympathy, and the society with which they are in conflict reveals its flaws so that we realise the Bad Guy may not have been so bad after all; meanwhile both are at the mercy of super-powerful supernatural forces. Dramatic and well-executed conclusion to an enjoyable series.
Tarod ha ganado su libertad, pero el anillo que contiene su alma ha desaparecido junto con la muchacha que ama.
Del mismo modo que un siniestro Warp había arrojado a Cyllan al interior del Castillo, otra de esas sobrenaturales tormentas, legado del Caos, proyectando sus caóticos relámpagos, anunciando la oscuridad y haciendo avanzar sus grandes y pulsátiles franjas de color macilento, la había arrebatado de aquel lugar y de Tarod.
Aun en peligro de caer en manos de sus enemigos, él debía encontrar a Cyllan antes de que lo hiciera el Círculo. Sólo entonces podría cumplir el compromiso que se había impuesto de enfrentarse con los dioses, pues únicamente éstos eran capaces de destruir la piedra y el mal que había en ella.
Pero show more si el mal le alcanzaba, Tarod se vería obligado a aceptar la verdad de su propia herencia. Una herencia que podía provocar un conflicto titánico de fuerzas ocultas y lanzarle a una búsqueda definitiva de venganza, desestabilizando el equilibrio entre el Orden y el Caos, imprescindible para subsistir. show less
