An Independent novel set in the world of Hawklan.
Since their leader
Petran died, the Guild of Dream Finders have been timid, and their
ancient craft has fallen into disrepute. Petran's son Antyr, young,
grief stricken and only part trained, could not begin to fill the
vacuum left by his father. Increasingly he has become a bitter
spectator, with neither the cynicism to become rich by pandering to the
whims of the wealthy, nor the courage to offer them his skills honestly
and without fear. His nightly visits to the alehouse have resulted in a
dwindling of his customers, and the quarrels with his strange Companion
have grown increasingly unpleasant. Then mysteriously one night, Antyr
is taken to Duke Ibris of the City of Serenstadt, who has been troubled
by mystifying and unsettling dreams. It is the beginning of a journey
that leads inexorably to a terrible confrontation with a malevolent
blind man possessed of a fearful otherworldly sight, and Ivaroth, a
warrior chief determined to conquer the Duke's land and all beyond...
