In his bestselling Mithgarian tales, Dennis L. McKiernan brings to life a magical world governed by portents and populated by Dragons and Wizards, Elves and Dwarves, Humans and Hidden Ones.

The progeny of an Elf and a shape-changing Baeran, Bair is cursed with a destiny that places him in mortal danger. According to prophecy, he is the Hope of the World — perhaps the long-foretold Rider of the Planes himself. Unaware of the peril that surrounds him, Bair accompanies his friend Aravan on a quest to find the yellow-eyed demon Ydral. But the oracle they have traveled so far to consult warns them to prepare for the time of chaos and slaughter that will soon envelop the world — for the time of Trine draws near…

“A tale of high fantasy that should appeal to most fans of epic fiction.” — Library Journal

“McKiernan brings his Mithgar series to a triumphant conclusion.” — Publishers Weekly
