An independent novel set in the world of Hawklan.
Canol Madreth is a
small, remote and mountainous country at the centre of Gyronlandt. It
is governed directly by an elected parliament, the Heindral – and
indirectly by the stern and sombre tenets of the Church of Ishrythan.
Then, one fateful day, ominous clouds gather over Canol Madreth, and,
mysteriously affected by whatever brought them, the impetuous Brother
Cassraw is transformed into a fiery religious demagogue. The stability
of the whole of Gyronlandt and beyond is threatened by his strange,
compulsive power and by the dark, primitive religion he begins to
preach. Only Allyn Vredech, fellow priest and lifelong friend, senses
the terrible truth. He then finds himself fighting not only for his own
faith, as he struggles to accept the world-destroying nature of the
force that has possessed Cassraw, but also for his very sanity as he is
drawn into worlds far beyond Canol Madreth... Worlds that cannot be...
Worlds that exist only in the dream of the Whistler... Or do they?
