Description

In the third part of `Seven Citadels', Prince Kerish, his half-brother Forollkin, his cousin Gwerath and the enigmatic Gidjabolgo, have escaped from the nomads and reached the corrupt Queendom of Seld. After battling the terrible creatures which guard the fourth citadel, worse dangers await Kerish in the ghostly kingdom of the tormented fifth sorcerer. In the brothers' homeland, Galkis, traitors are plotting to seize the throne and the barbarians have invaded. The quest for the legendary Savior seems more urgent than ever, but the eccentric sixth sorcerer makes the companions rethink their destinies. `Seven Citadels' This acclaimed quartet, set in the exotic world of Zindar, tells the story of Kerish and Forollkin, two very different brothers sent on an epic journey to save their country. Forollkin is a formidable warrior but ultimately the success of their quest will depend on Kerish's powers of insight and persuasion. As they encounter strange new cultures and confront seven immortal sorcerers, the brothers learn to question everything they thought they knew. Danger, death and love will reshape the future they are fighting for. The unique Speaking Volumes edition is the first to print the author's preferred text. It is also the first English language edition to include the vital epilogue to `The Seventh Gate', which continues the story of Kerish and Forollkin.
