Publisher's Synopsis
A destiny in the sunken Nail al Zaurack lands compels Gothrin northwards. Riding with the fierce Riders of Nath Earl as escort, the band flees Kotor's pursuing forces, seeking Nath sanctuary. But peril dogs their heels. After skirmishes and brushes with death, the group arrives to their comrade, a sorcerer, gravely wounded. While foraging for healing herbs, Yanak's party confronts Kotor's men; in a blur of steel, they retreat to sanctuary - now with the army chasing close behind. Separated into groups, two routes remain: the twisting bowels of the Zaurack Halls. The nightmarish labyrinth had long defeated searchers of the fabled Nair. Blood marks the companions' descent through cave and maze, the stone itself seemingly against them. Survivors emerge to an unexpected find: a potent new ally lurking Nair's brooding forests. Yet this is a brief respite… for the true battle is yet to come. Will Gothrin and his stalwart band crush Kotor's forces and brave Nair's further dangers to find this prize - the mythic Stone of Athelas?
