The thrilling, fast-paced fantasy novel that continues the magical adventure that began with THE FIFTH SORCERESS.
Robert Newcomb travelled widely in his youth as a member of the American Institute for Foreign Study. He now lives in Florida. The Fifth Sorceress marked his debut and is the first book in 'The Chronicles of Blood and Stone' trilogy. The second volume, The Gates of Dawn, is also published in Bantam paperback and the concluding novel, The Scrolls of the Ancients, in Bantam Press trade paperback.
'He puts his heroes through hell...Newcomb has a talent for
exploring the darker, more brutal aspects of human suffering'

Though Prince Tristan has won the war against the outlawed Sorceresses of the Coven, his land is in ruins, and he is a fugitive, falsely blamed for the death of his father. As Tristan tries to rebuild his country and restore his good name, a powerful evil born of his flesh works behind the scenes to seize power over the land. In this sequel to The Fifth Sorceress, Newcomb continues the epic tale of a young man thrust into a position of rulership, even as he attempts to come to terms with his magical endowments and his conscience. Lavish descriptions and complex characterizations make this a strong addition to most fantasy collections. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
