Keeper Of The Flame (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645184266)

The chill wisps of an encroaching storm descend upon the north. Wars are waged in shadows and courtrooms. The worlds of elves, men and ruskalan begin to turn to action. The land is about to ignite.

Duran Cormac, along with his mentor, legendary knight, Sword of Kil'kara and brother to the Aureian Emperor, Sir Kaladin, is assigned to the imperial court at a most treacherous time. Oaths and vows mean nothing when the first attack comes.

Leona, the youngest child and daughter of Emperor Janus, emerges as a powerful peacemaker at court. Her guile and wit are tested as fairy tales emerge from the darkness. Forces are at play that go beyond the words and whispers of man.

Naidra is an autieyar. An elf with magical abilities feared even by her own people. Caught between her want for peace and the wills of those who seek war, Naidra and her sister are cast into a black game.

Treachery. Magic. Faith. Love. Honour.

The inquisition has begun.
