Synopsis
The second book in the brand new series, 'Conclave of Shadows' from world-wide bestselling author of 'Magician,' Raymond E. Feist. Chaos threatens to overwhelm two worlds as the most dangerous force ever encountered threatens to invade Midkemia, while the most treacherous magician in history -- the madman Leso Varen -- begins to wreak havoc on the world of Kelewan. Pug and the Conclave of Shadows are determined to find Varen, only to discover that he has usurped the body of one of the most powerful men in the Empire of Tsuranuani -- a Black Robe and member of the Assembly of Magicians. Pug has the almost impossible task of uncovering the true identity of the fiendish magician in an entire city full of Black Robes. Murder, mayhem, horror, and the darkest evil await Pug's son, Magnus, and his companions as they attempt to discover the ultimate source of the terrible threat that hovers over Midkemia and Kelewan. Leading a desperate expedition into the realm of the Dasati, the vast and malevolent empire which is threatening his homeworld, Magnus hopes to find the key to defeating this enemy who is capable of overwhelming the combined might of two worlds.

But even if he does, the companions will have a desperate struggle to return home with their vital information. Three worlds will teeter on the brink of destruction as the third Riftwar: the Darkwar, is unleashed.

Customer Reviews

Stephen McD
Well what can I say , a good read but after Flight of the Nighthawks I was left a bit dissapointed . Feists character development as usual leaves a lot to desired , and I dont see the point in some of the storylines within the book ( Tad , Zane and Jommy , who cares ). It seems to me this book is used more as a lead up to the next which we can hope will be much better.
More proof of Feists inconsistency , great book followed by a dissapointing one.

back to his best
after some of the repetative "gaming based" tripe we have seen in this past, this latest series match the rift-war saga for page turning excitment. the only problem you will find is once you pick this up, you cant put it down, so have someone available to cook your meals for the day.

roll on the next episodes

Keep going..!
An excellent fast paced read, over far too soon, but so frustrating as it poses more questions than it answers... Can't wait for October and the next instalment!
