The long-awaited concluding novel in Tad Williams's thrilling epic
“Shadowmarch” series.
Southmarch Castle is about to be caught between two implacable enemies, the
ancient, immortal Qar and the insane god-king, the Autarch of Xis. Meanwhile,
its two young defenders, Princess Briony and Prince Barrick, are both trapped
far away from home and fighting for their lives.
And now, something is awakening underneath Southmarch Castle, something powerful
and terrible that the world has not seen for thousands of years. Can Barrick and
Briony, along with a tiny handful of allies, ordinary and extraordinary, find a
way to save their world and prevent the rise of a terrible new age-an age of
unending darkness?
