Iskiir

by M. Coleman Easton

Even in the haven of the mighty city of Tajmengus, in the home of his conjurer cousin Yeni, Iskiir could not forget his nightmare past. never could he escape the horrible sight of those huge black monoliths magically stalking forth to crush his home village. He had tried to warn others of this spell of evil walking the land, yet no one would listen, not even his true love, Adeh.

But now his nightmares lived again. The stones had come to Tajmengus! And, as even the first rank sorcerers failed to halt their deadly march, Iskiir knew that only he - who had once survived this crushing doom - could answer the riddle of the stones, and stop the evil that stood behind them...

[Rogue-van (the Bookman) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Iskiir had escaped the walking black monoliths that had crushed his village. Now in the city of Tajmengus with his cousin Yeni, he is being trapped by them again. The first rank sorcerers may not be able to stop them. Can Iskiir escape again and find help? What powers might help?

Easton has returned to the fabulous world of the Arabian Nights with an exciting tale of walking stones and soul-draining magic. I found the desperate determination to meet the challenge to be quite satisfying.
