Armed with a madman's sword and a celestial prophecy of victory, Kirindan, King of Fildorin will stop at nothing to save his family and his realm from a powerful dark wizard. But such triumph in arms may demand a terrible price. As doubts and suspicions plague the king, he learns too late that hidden knowledge is perilous to those who dare seek it. He may vanquish the sorcerer, but will Kirindan be able to save those he loves from himself?
