About this book

A WIZARD'S QUEST has become the only path of honor left to Aldric Talvalin, an Alban high clan-lord betrayed into enemy hands by his own king. Now swearing loyalty only to himself, his lady--the beautiful warrior woman Kyrin --and his foster father, Wizard Gemmel, Aldric will venture into the very heart of dark sorceries, the city of Drakkesborg, citadel of the evil Warlord, in search of the talisman of power which can end Gemmel's long exile from his homeland. But ranged against Aldric and Kyrin are skilled assassins sent by both his former liege lord and his deadliest foe. And even if they survive attacks by these treacherous blades, Aldric and Kyrin may only be trading a quick and easy death for the endless torment of a demonic destruction summoned up by the dread wizardry of the Warlord himself....
