$Jacket with copy for Ryslad, by M. Turville Heitz. Back copy: The plot was decades in the making. Then the final piece came into play … Ryslad is an epic dark fantasy of political intrigue, magic and manipulation. It’s a story of lost Lore and broken Law, and in the end a tale of Love. Generations of petty hatred fractured Ryslad into seven lands. Only the Pinnacle’s wizards maintain a tenuous peace, and ensure daemons exiled in the world’s making can’t breach the walls of the Without. When the three sons of the ailing King of Suterlad are mysteriously lost, a succession war brews. Then, a young Pinnacle scholar, Val, is taken captive in the slums of Marhamere, unaware he is the last piece in a game of conquest that could destroy the Pinnacle and open the walls of the Without. Val needs his wizard friends, a barmaid who sacrifices everything to help him, a woolherd possessed by a dead wizard, and support from all the lands to save them from rogue wizardry and daemons. To succeed, Val must become everything he despises, just as his enemy planned.
