Courage of Falcons — Holly Lisle

THE FINAL BATTLE

The Falcons, a band of fugitive wizards that includes skinshifters Kait Gaiweigh and Ry Sabir, struggle in their desperate battle against the immortal, soul-devouring necromancers called the Dragons. Meanwhile, a thousand tribes of long-banished Scarred declare war on the civilized lands, with a prophesied messiah uniting them into an unstoppable army. Bent on conquest and revenge, the Scarred don't care that their new leader, Luercas, is a being so evil that even the Dragons fear him...

To defeat the Dragons, Kait and Ry must destroy the source of the sorcerers' power--the Mirror of Souls. But if they succeed, they will lose the only weapon that can stop Luercas from becoming a demonic god who will enslave the entire world... forever.
