Of Steel and Sorcery — Kenneth McDonald

Keric Olwyhn has survived demons, evil sorcerers, and the deadly perils of the Labyrinth. But in this final installment of the “Mages of Sacreth” series, Keric must confront a threat more dangerous than any he's faced before.

The plot of the Sokhali blood mages has been uncovered, and clues found in Kal Tiroth have led Keric to the borders of Fara, a mysterious land where a hierarchy of bane mages work to keep unwelcome strangers out. But Keric doesn't know that the leader of the blood mages has already set his plans in motion, or that his friend Bale Unwin has unwittingly placed herself in the middle of a brewing war. Keric and his fellow mages join forces with Coran Vasey and his Border Wardens for one more mission into a hostile land, where even the powerful magic of Sacreth may not be enough for them to defeat an ancient enemy and escape alive.
