Loyal to none but herself and lethal even to those closest to her, Shadea a’Ru now holds sway as High Druid of Paranor–her ascension to power basically unchallenged in the wake of Grianne Ohmsford’s sudden, mysterious vanishing. Only Shadea and her catspaw–the treacherous Prime Minister Sen Dunsidan–know the trick fate of the true Ard Rhys . . . for it was they who engineered it, by means of dark magic. And today Grianne languishes in the fearsome and inescapable netherworld called the Forbidding.
Their bloodless coup a success, the corrupt pair, and their confederates within the Druid Council, seeks to make their dominion in the Four Lands absolute–with the aid of a devastating new weapon. Nonetheless it could all be undone if Grianne’s young nephew, Penderrin, succeeds in his frantic quest to rescue her. Shadea’s airship-borne minions and the relentless assassin under her command continue their fierce quest for Pen and his comrades.
Eluding death is merely half the battle for Pen. To breach the Forbidding and bring Grianne back again to the natural world means locating the fabled Tanequil . . . and the talisman it alone can provide. Which means journeying into the Inkrim–a dreaded region thick with shadows and haunted by harrowing legends. In addition, it means striking a good deal more dire than Pen could ever imagine. But there can be no turning back. For in her unearthly prison, the Ard Rhys faces a demonic plight too hideous to countenance. . . .
