Synopsis

Tarod has won his freedom, but in a supernatural storm he has lost the jewel that holds the key to his sorcerous power, and the girl he loves has been swept away too. With a price on both their heads, he must find her before the Circle does. As he searches he is forced to face the truth about his own heritage and about the power that has marked him from the start.

Where it sits

Notes

  • From the series record (Time Master): The sorcerer Tarod, an adept of the Circle, is drawn to a power from beyond time.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.

  • Internal chronology, within Time Master (World of Chaos and Order): position 9 of 12: previous The Dark Caller (1997) · next The Avenger (1992)
