Magical barriers between realms are failing, forcing a woman Loremaster and her firedrake companion to battle through harsh weather as their world faces invasion.
The world of Myrial is racing toward apocalypse. For aeons, its mysterious Curtain Walls have functioned to separate realm from realm, and race from race, so that each cordoned area remains a sanctuary for its species. But now the miraculous walls that have provided order for so long are disintegrating with disastrous results.
Mingling climates are causing unrelenting rains or deadly droughts, while warlike races are preying mercilessly on the helpless and meek. And the carnage will only grow worse unless a seasoned woman-warrior, a brazen firedrake, and a venerable Dragon with show more amazing telepathic powers, trusted members of the Shadowleague, succeed where everyone else has failed.
For they must first locate the heart of Myrial, where the secret for undoing this disaster resides. In order to reach their goal, however, they must overcome treachery, intrigue, and evil—and a mysterious figure from the past whose actions threaten to tear the Shadowleague apart. show less

SHADOWLEAGUE
De boeken van Het Schaduwverbond spelen zich af in de landen van Myrial, voorheen veilig verscholen binnen de ommuring van het Kleed, een wereldomvattend magisch scherm. Groot is de ontsteltenis als het scherm door onverklaarbare oorzaken begint te verzwakken. Het klimaat verandert, stormen en perioden van droogte wisselen elkaar af. Vreemde en boosaardige monsters van buiten vallen binnen. Veldan, Kennisbewaarster van de geheimen van de Ouden, begeleidt Aethon, de Ziener van het Drakenvolk, met Kaz naar een bijeenkomst van het Schaduwverbond in verband met het niet goed functioneren van de Weermuren, onnatuurlijke, kunstmatige grenzen die de diverse rijken en rassen van elkaar scheiden. Zavahl, de Hiërarch van Callisiora, zal door show more zijn volk geofferd worden omdat hij volgens hen uit de gratie ligt bij de god Myrial. Als Veldan en haar reisgenoten door een aardverschuiving van elkaar gescheiden worden en Aethon's geest bezit neemt van Zavahl's lichaam, zet het Schaduwverbond een reddingsactie op touw die geleid wordt door haar grootste aartsvijand, Elion. Heer Kling, Zavahl's grootste vijand, is de enige die meer afweet van de Weermuren en de enige die een groot geheim in zich heeft. Elion en Veldan zijn gedwongen om samen te werken willen ze Aethon nog redden. show less
