false 28660 6 The stunning first volume in Janny Wurts's epic tale of two half-brothers cursed to life-long enmity, now re-released with a striking new cover. The world of Athera lives in eternal fog, its skies obscured by the malevolent Mistwraith. Only the combined powers of two half-brothers can challenge the Mistwraith's stranglehold: Arithon, Master of Shadow and Lysaer, Lord of Light. Arithon and Lysaer will find that they are inescapably bound inside a pattern of events dictated by their own deepest convictions. Yet there is more at stake than one battle with the Mistwraith -- as the sorcerers of the Fellowship of Seven know well. For between them the half-brothers hold the balance of the world, its harmony and its future, in their hands. 1945432 1993 The Curse of the Mistwraith (Wars of Light & Shadow, Arc 1, #1) total:223|5:90|4:60|3:47|2:17|1:9| 223 874 389 17 4 12 false false Sat Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 06:49:36 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 12:14:38 -0700 2009 1
