War has broken out among the magical colleges of Balaia, and the tribes of the West choose this moment for their attack on the magic wielders of their world. When a spell's backlash opens a door into the realm of demons, however, only one faction stands a chance of gathering the means to save the world from total destruction—and the Raven has seemingly fought its last battle. The conclusion to the "Legends of the Raven" trilogy (Elfsorrow; Shadowheart) reunites Hirad Coldheart, the Unknown Warrior, and their companions for one last foray into battle, one they cannot hope to survive.
VERDICT Military fantasy, well-developed characters, and masterful storytelling make this an outstanding choice for fans of Glen Cook's "Black Company" novels.
