After the loss of friends and comrades, after betrayals and battles, master thief Shadow Harold finally enters Hrad Spein. Hidden deep within the bowels of the dreaded underground fortress is the object of Harold's quest: the Rainbow Horn, the magical object that would be the salvation of Siala. Many dangerous obstacles lie within, including magical traps, long-dead armies of elves and orcs, and fiendish ghouls -and there are sure to be even more deadly hurdles that are yet unknown. Shadow Harold must now carry out the most daring theft of his life, and he must do it alone.
In Shadow Blizzard, the third book by international bestselling fantasy author Alexey Pehov, already the armies of orcs and the Nameless One have begun their assault on the Northern Lands, and the days of despair and devastation have commenced. Even if Harold can successfully steal the Horn, will he be in time to save his world from destruction?
