Publisher's Synopsis
In the second part of 'Seven Citadels', Prince Kerish and his soldier half-brother, Forollkin, continue their search for the keys to the Savior's prison. The ugly and irritating Gidjabolgo has his own reasons for joining the voyage through perilous swamps to the mountains where an immortal sorceress holds the third key. Beyond the mountains, the companions are captured by the nomadic Erandachi-the tribe of Kerish's long dead mother. Kerish and Forollkin are welcomed into the tribe but forbidden ever to leave. The prince falls for his cousin Gwerath but she is only interested in Forollkin. As the relationship between the brothers reaches breaking-point, Kerish vows to prove himself as a warrior.
'Seven Citadels'
This acclaimed quartet, set in the exotic world of Zindar, tells the story of Kerish and Forollkin, two very different brothers sent on an epic journey to save their country. Forollkin is a formidable warrior but ultimately the success of their quest will depend on Kerish's powers of insight and persuasion. As they encounter strange new cultures and confront seven immortal sorcerers, the brothers learn to question everything they thought they knew. Danger, death and love will reshape the future they are fighting for.
The unique Speaking Volumes edition is the first to print the author's preferred text. It is also the first English language edition to include the vital epilogue to 'The Seventh Gate', which continues the story of Kerish and Forollkin.
