Synopsis








'In an archaic, feudal empire ... Valentine, an itinerant juggler, discovers through dreams and portents that he is his namesake Lord Valentine, the Coronal or King - his body and throne stolen by a usurper.

'He sets out to win his throne back ... Valentine and his companions trek across the forests and plains of Zimroel, by fishing boat across the sea ... to Alhanroel with its Labyrinth and then to the heights of power at Castle Mount.

 

 

Review









'Robert Silverberg's invention is prodigious ... a near-encyclopedia of unnatural wonders and weird ecosystems.  Silverberg, like a competent juggler, maintains his rhythm and his suspense to the end'
Times Literary Supplement

'A magnificent behemoth of a fantasy ... with all the narrative skills and imaginative brilliance that have made Robert Silverberg's science fiction so exceptional'
Tribune

Two spots of snow cover the peaks of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the main island of Hawaii in this true-color image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua spacecraft.

This island is formed from three of the most active volcanoes in the world, the third being Mount Kilauea, which is on the southeastern shore and is outlined in red. Of the three, Mt. Kilauea is the most active, having started its most recent erupting in 1983, and not stopping since.
