One book is a first printing with complete number line. One book has a torn end page. Illustrated. Tight, flat, square books with marginal toning. Some edge wear. Spines creased or cupped, #1 is the most severe. See pictures. The world of Sularin is ruled by twenty gods, different in aspect but equal in power. But a war rages in the heavens, one that will affect the gods, the mortals, and the immortal beings who serve them both. It is a tale of romance and magic, blending epic fantasy with Arabian adventure. Khardan, Calif of a horse-riding tribe, and Zhora, princess of a sheep-herding people, must put aside their own differences - with the help of a young spellcaster named Mathew from across the sea - before the fabled Rose of the Prophet blooms. ** After the overwhelming defeat of their tribes, Khardan and Zohra find themselves prisoners of an evil god's disciples--and in danger of losing their honor, their lives and their souls! Second in yet another of Weis and Hickman's epic fantasies.
