Shadowfire

Turek was raised as an orphan nomad, until one grim night when he learns of his heritage. He discovers he is the son of the last woman of a superior race long thought dead - a woman who once dishonored his warrior king father. Intent on revenge, Turek takes his father's name, Vazkor, and embarks on a journey to find his mother - and murder her. Rediscover this realm of brilliant cruel beauty and seductive immortal ruins, of savage war and grand conquest, of falling stars and silver gods-with this 40th anniversary edition of legendary fantastist Tanith Lee's Birthgrave Trilogy.
