Description

For two centuries the portion of the great Sovereign Stone belonging to the humans of Loerem was lost from sight and memory. But there are those who dare never forget ...

A magical relic has been miraculously recovered -- and the battle for the future of Loerem begins. It is a nightmare conflict that will ensnare dwarf, human, elf, and orken beings, as the immortal dark lord Dagnarus launches terrible war from the blackest depths of the Void. And now heros must emerge from the most unlikely show more corners of the world to deny Dagnarus the awesome power of the Stone -- or suffer the hideous damnation of his hellish reign.

This is Weis and Hickman at their absolute best. An engaging storyline with great characters (spot the kender), "good" bad guys, and an interesting world with an interesting history. The biggest shame is that the first book in this trilogy was very much a separate story taking place some 200 years ago, while this one is obviously the first of two halves. I don't like trilogies like that. I'd prefer either three very distinctly separate books or two trilogies.This book is also very different from the first in the way the story was told. The first book was told from the perspective of the baddies while this is much more typical Weis and Hickman. However, while it's a little disappointing because it doesn't follow the first book in this show more manner, I preferred this book because it's more of what I expect from the authors. show less
Book 2 of the Sovereign Stone Trilogy felt very much like a middle book. Not a bad story and you can tell it's leading up to something, but really nothing much seems to happen other than setting up book 3. I'm looking forward to the final book in the trilogy, but felt a bit like this was just a necessary step to the end.
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.

Zijn hele leven heeft ridder Gustav gezocht naar het verloren gewaande vierde deel van de Verheven Steen. Eindelijk, in een gebied dat ooit aan het versmade Pecwae-volk toebehoorde, vindt hij het - in het graf van een Wachter.

Gewapend met zijn levenservaring en de magische kracht die hij als Domeinheer bezit, weet hij het kleinood aan het graf te show more ontrukken. Nu moet het herenigd worden met de andere drie delen van de Verheven Steen. Maar deze zaak zal de oude Gustav niet meer zelf kunnen volbrengen - hij moet zijn gevecht met de verschrikkelijke Vrykyl alsnog met de dood bekopen.

Twee jongeren, Jessan en Bashae, nemen de queeste over en gaan op reis naar Nieuw Vinnengael. Het Kwaad volgt hen op de voet, klaar om ieder moment toe te slaan en Loerem te gronde te richten.

Han pasado dos siglos desde que el fragmento de la Gema Soberana que correspondía a los humanos de Loerem se perdió. Ahora, en este mundo que comparten muchas razas hostiles, son muy pocos los que recuerdan que existió. Pero hay alguien que no lo ha olvidado: Gustav, un Señor del Dominio humano que se ha propuesto encontrar el sagrado objeto.
