Synopsis
The Druids of Yamath, beaten in the previous book, join forces with the Sarks of Shembis and Tsargol to destroy Thongor of Valkarth and win back their power. Their plan is to seize his beloved Sumia of Patanga and use her as bait to lure him into a trap. The scheme does not go as intended, and Thongor, with his comrades, has to pursue his enemies across Lemuria and rescue Sumia before the sorcerers and the priests of the dark gods can finish what they began.
