The Death God's Citadel

The thrilling sequel to The Web of Wizardry

"A richly-detailed construction of fantasy ... A complex culture with a sorcerous touch upon the whole." C.J. Cherryh

Alighting in a new land, Tyrus and Erezjan are no strangers to a life of wandering. They have travelled far and wide across the realm of Krantin, descrying regions from afar.

Now they find themselves integrated into life in a distant and eccentric new province, Couredh. Before long, it becomes obvious that they will not be able to conceal the true nature of their arrival from the locals for long...

Their true mission: to track down a murderous wizard named Vraduir.

Tyrus and Erezjan have set themselves on his trail in an attempt to prevent him from wreaking more havoc and destruction upon the people of Krantin.

But they can't do it alone...

An alliance is forged in secret between Tyrus and Erezjan and the malicious wizard's defecting companions, Jathelle and Ilissa. They too know the doom that faces this world if they stand by and do nothing.

As they track their quarry ever northward into the cold and barren wildlands, they encounter magic like they have never seen - both of man and of the gods. Vraduir's thirst for power has caused him to sacrifice much in order to forge and bond with the gods and call upon their power.

Now Tyrus, Erezjan, Jathelle, Ilissa and their compainions must journey toward the Death God's Citadel, a realm at the top of the world from which no man has ever returned.

The Death God's Citadel is a thrill-packed, beautifully written tale of magic, relationships, and what happens when man oversteps his limits.
