About This Book
For as long as anyone can remember, the Seven Realms has been a land without magic. There have been no ogres, trolls, or dragons to feed upon unwary travellers, or spill the blood of warriors as in days of old. But every safeguard has a price, and now Athinor and his companions learn that it is in their time that the price must be paid. The men of Morieth are dead. Prince Dyrdrion is dying, and Athinor's small company is about to be divided by their separate quests. They have a name for their enemy now, and a map to find his fortress. However, if he is to be defeated they need the assistance of a mighty sorcerer but their only new ally is an ancient wizard who has lost all of his powers. And as theybegin to learn about the past that has brought them to this present, they also discover that some things from the time of raw magic have not yet died out. In the mists of the Moors of Merithdrel and the eerie caverns of the Black Mountains there are creatures of dark magic that linger still; creatures that are hungrier than ever for the taste of elf-blood, dwarf-blood, and man-flesh, and the seductive glitter of gold. This is a story of loyalty, friendship, sacrifice, and love, for adult readers who enjoy Heroic Fantasy. The Ways of Magic is the second book of The Chandras.
