This is the third volume in the Minstrel's Song series. The story tells of the rise of the magician Quantos from his roots as an unknown mendicant pilgrim and chronicles his schemes to regain the high throne of Lavros in the inaccessible mountain realm at the heart of Verdenia. How many innocent people will pay the ultimate price for his greed, vanity, and lust for power?
