Ian Silverstein returns to the magical land of the Hidden Ways in search
of some of the "Brisingamen" gems that can shape or destroy the
universe--and to keep them out of the hands of the likes of the
trickster god Loki. Many surprises ensue, and Ian must make some tough
choices and survive the deadly intrigues of the powerful lords in Tir Na
Nog. Sorcery and swordplay as well as psychological depth are present in
this series that Booklist called an "excellent and intelligent fantasy
adventure."
