Synopsis

Wrath of a Mad God concludes the Darkwar Saga with Pug and the Conclave of Shadows confronting their gravest challenge yet on the alien Dasati world, where Leso Varen has awakened the fury of a being described as a mad god. While Pug's expedition races to prevent this awakened power from turning against Midkemia, his wife Miranda, held captive on Kelewan by the Deathpriests, fights for her own survival far from the main battle. The novel brings together the threads built across the Darkwar Saga, from the talnoy artifacts to the Dasati incursion, as the characters work to close off the threat before it can spread beyond the Dasati realm and into the worlds they are sworn to protect.

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.
