In an increasingly battle-ravaged land, Maerad, Cadvan, and Hem
desperately search for one another as they make their separate journeys.
The Black Army is advancing north, and even as Maerad faces a mighty
confrontation with the Landrost to save Innail, all of the Seven
Kingdoms are threatened with bitter and devastating defeat. Yet in
Maerad and Hem lives the secret to the mysterious Singing, and legend
holds that if they release the music of Elidhu together, they have the
power to defeat the Nameless One. Can brother and sister find each other
in time to fight this all-powerful enemy, and are they strong
enough--even reunited--to defeat him before all is lost?
The climactic volume of the epic quartet follows the Bards of
Edil-Amarandh on a vital quest to merge their powers against a nameless
evil.
