The acclaimed master fantasist is back with more adventure, danger,
magic, and intrigue in this second thrilling installment in The Darkwar
Saga
The Conclave of Shadows has foiled the Nighthawks' attempt to plunge the
Empire of Great Kesh into civil war and now has undertaken to stamp out
the Guild of Assassins, root and branch. But as the brotherhood of
murder is being obliterated, Pug and his allies are confronted with an
even more dire question: where is Leso Varen? They discover that the mad
sorcerer has taken refuge on the world of Kelewan, among the most
powerful men and women of that empire, the Magicians of the Assembly.
Pug also learns that the massive hordes of the Dasati--the most vicious
group of assassins he has ever known--is poised to make a joint invasion
of both Kelewan and Midkemia.
To save the future of both empires, Pug and the Conclave of Shadows must
journey into another realm of reality, into the darkest realm they have
ever encountered: the Dasati home world!
