A futuristic, post-cataclysmic, sci-fi soap opera. On an Earth whose population has been decimated and whose landscape has been forcibly altered by natural causes and the effects of humankind's weapons, political and national boundaries have been altered. The Saunder family has gained wealth and power due to the actions of the manipulative matriarch, and the three offspring are in positions of great power and responsibility. But the family has cracks that ultimately will risk tearing the family apart. And into this volatile mix comes news that an alien spacecraft is approaching Earth. Hysteria, propaganda, deceit, betrayal and redemption. What every good stereotypical soap opera needs. Throw in some advanced technologies and alien visitation, and you've got a rather interesting result.--ElementalDragon (edited)

They appeared from nowhere…an implacable horde that ravaged the lands of Krantin, slaying and taking their own death wounds in eerie silence. The outer islands have fallen, and soon the sorcery-driven soldiers will be striking at Krantin’s heart. The only hope for survival lies in an alliance of Royal forces with the fiercely independent desert marauders, the Destre-Y — and with a perilous linkage of all of Krantin’s adepts of magic. The young Troop-Leader Danaer, Destre-born but sworn to Royal service, is the key to the uneasy partnership of ages-old enemies. But his love for the enchantress Lira is now imperiling the final confrontation between the malignant enemy sorcerer and the protection of the <u>web of wizardry…</u> <i>Web of Wizardry</i> is an enthralling fantasy tale combining feuding dynasties and political intrigue with weird and wondrous battles.

Wie sollte Tyrus dem Kerker entfliehen, wie seinem eigenen Vater entkommen und, vor allem, wie sich dem Drahtzieher des Schicksals entgegenstellen, dem Todesgott, der in seiner nördlichen Eiszitadelle auf Tyrus' Kommen wartet!
