Shadowlight Mike Jefferies Fontana 1990

Krulshards the Master of Darkness lies dead, his nightbeast armies destroyed. But Elundium’s joyful shouts of victory are mingled with tears of sorrow, as King Holbian, entrusting Thane with his kingdom, goes to his rest at last.

King Thane returns with Elionbel as his bride to the new-built Granite City, bidding the people return to their homes. But the warning colours of Nevian’s magician’s cloak will not fade, and many murmur that this is an uneasy peace.

Where are those unhappy warriors who rejected the Candleman’s son as king? Who can explain the new-grown trees that loom menacingly at the Greenway’s edge? And what is the deadly secret Elionbel refuses to divulge, even as a terrible shodowlight swirls like mist across Elundium?
