Synopses & Reviews
A epic fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of the Xanth series
Beneath the twin suns of Ellistar and Deneob, the Realm is menaced by the Dark One and his minions, the ill-creatures.
To save the Realm and its power, the High Bishop charges a lonely band of travellers with the task of carrying the Thunderwood staff, the mightiest weapon ever known -- made from the Tree of Life itself -- to safety in the Holy City of Norivika.
Running before the storm, this band must traverse mountains, deserts, forests, oceans, and undreamed-of peril -- and learn the true nature of the Fallen Star -- in order to preserve the Realm from the rising darkness.
