Synopsis
Two hundred years ago a Halruaan necromancer, Akhlaur, disappeared, leaving a bitter legacy and the deadly swamp that bears his name. Now the battle of Akhlaur's Swamp is over and its monsters vanquished, but Kiva, the treacherous magehound, is far from finished. In the calm that follows victory the heroes of the swamp part ways: Tzigone becomes a wizard's apprentice, and Matteo resumes his duties as the queen's counsellor. But their paths soon converge with Kiva's again, and it seems that Akhlaur's Swamp was only the beginning for all of them. The second Counselors and Kings novel by Elaine Cunningham.
