  <default_description>The peaceful Eldarin were the last of three ancient races.&#160;&#160;The mystical Oltor, healers and poets, had fallen before the dread power of the cruel and sadistic Daroth.&#160;&#160;Yet in one awesome night the invincible Daroth had vanished from the face of the earth.&#160;&#160;Gone were their cities, their armies, their terror.&#160;&#160;The Great Northern Desert was their only legacy.&#160;&#160;Not a trace remained for a thousand years...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The War of the Pearl had raged for seven years and the armies of the four Duchies were exhausted and weary of bloodshed.&#160;&#160;But the foremost of the Dukes, Sirano of Romark, possessed the Eldarin Pearl and was determined to unravel its secrets.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then, on one unforgetable day, a dark moon rose above the Great Northern Desert, and a black tidal wave swept across the land.&#160;&#160;In moments the desert had vanished beneath lush fields and forests and a great city could be seen glittering in the morning sunlight.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From this city re-emerged the blood-hungry Daroth, powerful and immortal, immune to spear and sword.&#160;&#160;They had only one desire:&#160;&#160;to rid the world of humankind for ever.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now the fate of the human race rests on the talents of three heroes:&#160;&#160;Karis, warrior-woman and strategist; Tarantio, the deadliest swordsman of the age; and Duvodas the Healer, who will learn a terrible truth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A new world of myth and magic, love and heroism, from the bestselling author of &lt;i&gt;The Legend of Deathwalker.&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I really like this book - it's a &quot;typical fantasy&quot; setting - complete with &quot;elves&quot; and &quot;orcs&quot; - but it's done in an interesting way, the characters are unique (how often do you have a protagonist with mutiple personalities?) and the stoey itself compelling.

    <body><![CDATA[This is a rarity in the fantasy world -- a story being told in one book instead of a lengthy series of books (see: Terry Goodkind, or better yet, skip him).  Even more rare is that the book is engaging and original, and I wished it were longer than it was (which I realize is a paradox, because I was...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1029491">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love this book.  The first David Gemmell I read, but it does justice to the claims made about his skill as a writer, I believe. I loved the setting the plot, the way Gemmell introduces the main characters.  I also love the many subplots that all intertwine within the whole main plot of the story. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71294695">more...</a>]]></body>
