"Just read the first three pages and you'll be hooked. A series that could easily become as legendary as Stephen Donaldson's." —Outland
"Combine the storytelling of Goodkind, the world-building of Donaldson, a dash of black humor, an unhealthy does of dark magic and plenty of action . . . irresistible and entertaining." —Book Club Associates
"There are some good ideas here. Intelligent fantasy." —SFX
The Larion spell table has been dormant for nearly a thousand Twinmoons. It waits in a forgotten chamber in Sandcliff Palace, the abandoned Larion Senate stronghold on Eldarn's North Sea. The spell table holds the power to see the people of the 5 lands safely through the oppression and brutality that have haunted them for generations, but without Lessek's key it is a worthless slab of granite. Unfortunately for Steven Taylor—the would-be sorcerer from Colorado—he overlooked the nondescript key the night he fell through the far portal into Eldarn. Now Steven must race across American to retrieve the key and free Eldarn's people rests, but Nerak—the fallen Larion dictator—is hot on his heels. If he fails, the lives of untold millions will be lost forever.
Robert Scott and Jay Gordon are coauthors of The Eldarn Sequence series.
