Mortal enemies unite in this latest adventure yarn from masters of the
genre Larry Niven and Steven Barnes in The Seascape Tattoo.
Aros of Azteca and Neoloth-Pteor are the deadliest of enemies: Swordsman
and Sorcerer, locked in the ancient battle between wizards and warriors
for fifteen years. They have tried to kill each other more times than
either can count.
But when the princess Neoloth loves is kidnapped, there is only one plan
that offers any hope of rescue...and that requires passing off the
barbarian Aros as a lost princeling and infiltrating the deadliest cabal
of necromancers the world has ever seen. Aros and Neoloth must join
forces to save the innocent princess and prevent the most powerful and
diabolical spell ever created from destroying their world.
They can't trust each other. They will betray or kill one another the
first chance they get. But each is all the other has.
