An exciting action packed book of swords and Sorcery fantasy (lots of battle with swords and magic). Galaron is an elf sent to investigate a tomb break and bring back the responsible party. However while trying to do his job an ancient and powerful enemy is released bent on destroying the world. Galaern, Vala (one of the tomb raiders, and human), and Melegaunt (an ancient human wizard) must try to stop the beings they accidentally released in order to save the realm.
