When Shan was fifteen years old, dark soldiers came out of the west, like a cloud of evil boiling over the soft hills of his homeland. They commanded terrible beasts, which killed with hook claws like scythes and cold eyes that dripped icy fire. The soldiers wore helmets that looked like fiends, tusked and snarling and sneering. The terrible consequences of war have left the boy Shan wounded in body and mind by the invading army of Magravandias. He's taken from his devastated village by the magus Taropat, chosen by the master's mysterious impulse to become the wizard's pupil, and a weapon against the invading empire.

Industry Reviews

Second entry in Constantine's - trilogy? series? - about the aggressively expansionist Magravandian Empire ("Sea Dragon Heir", 2000) and the people who scheme to run it, change it, or bring about its downfall. Young peasant Shan survives a massacre by Magravandian soldiers and is adopted by the ancient magus Taropat. As Shan will eventually learn, Taropat is also Khaster Leckery, the missing (and presumed dead) brother-in-law of Valraven Palindrake, Dragon Heir of Caradore. Taropat, who has big plans for Shan, teaches the boy some stuff while the author develops private mythologies at tedious length. Eventually, Shan will join a group Palindrake's enemies (including Khaster's brother Merlan) in a mystical quest for the Crown of Silence. An uncontrolled and unconvincing continuation: dedicated fans only.. (Kirkus Reviews)
