'Farewell, black bird. Under the stars
On silent wings, begin your flight.
It seems a sudden shadow flees
Across the night ...
|
Fly high, black bird - do not look down.
Thy destiny is in no doubt,
But somewhere in the world below
A light goes out.' |
- from 'The Battle of Evernight' |
Cover blurb from the English language editions:
"Once upon a time Angavar, the great High King, became entrapped in mortal Erith along with his twin brother, and nemesis, Morragan the Raven Prince, after the Gate to the Faeran Realm was closed on them ...
Now, many centuries later, the fugitive who calls herself Tahquil has at last discovered the truth. She is being hunted down because of the secret she alone knows. However her mind is still clouded by a potent spell called the Bitterbynde, and she is also dying from a mystical wasting disease, whose cure can only be found in Evernight - at the fortress of the Raven Prince himself.
Nothing can prepare her for the horror that is Evernight, where magic rules, the sun is banished - and the Raven Prince's whims shape the weather, the elements, the very nature of existence. yet Tahquil resolutely refuses to be a mere pawn of these Faeran, who are as merciless as they are beautiful.
As Morragan's wights and Angavar's knights become locked in battle that could engulf all of Erith, Tahquil's quest for the truth finally hiunges on a desperate choice. If she opens the Gate, will she thereby save two worlds - or instead destroy all and everything she holds dear? |
