Publisher's Synopsis
Ixus, a former Cleric/Magic-User, has transformed into one of the most powerful of the undead through dire magical practices. Now he has set his undead army on a path to destroy the Borean defenses at Corrente, the gateway to the capital.
Thistle, a White Wizardess in her own right and her husband, Jared, recently anointed a Bard, use their considerable prowess to help deal with this threat to the Kingdom. Meanwhile, Meligance, Thistle's mentor, leads a small company, including Jared's brother, Ge-or, into the west. Their aim - to destroy the enemy's effort at its source - IXUS - the citadel, the dungeons, the lich.
Our three protagonists continue to explore the uses of Magic, Music, and Might in order to thwart the powers of darkness. Challenged at every turn, Meligance's company fights through the dungeons of Ixus, facing horrible odds, while Jared and Thistle help lead the kingdom's resistance to stem the undead tide at Corrente.
