Description
Dark Moon Rising provides a thrilling climax to the Magesty trilogy, being the second part of the book "Dark Matta".Despite warnings from the Goddess who measures and cuts the thread of life, Estieven, the powerful mage that exhibits versatility and imagination in all aspects of arcane majjik, continues to make extensive use of a sorcerous artefact in pursuance of his self-appointed role as defender of The Five Kingdoms.In collaboration with his niece, Kleo Beth, who possesses a penchant for interpreting prescient visions, the secrets of the Wards of Earthpower are laid bare to deliver a bargaining chip that will challenge the very Gods themselves. But hidden within the spells that Ward the ominous, ethereal gemstone, are bound the names of demons who, should the slightest mistake occur in the sequence of unpicking, once unleashed into the world, will have diabolical consequences for the would-be code breakers. As the plot unfolds, the ambiguous wording of the Tainekan Prophesy begins to unravel at last and, deploying the powers of arcane magic simultaneously on many fronts - under and over water; in the darkest bowels of the earth and in the firmament above - Estieven attempts to thwart the many-layered cabals that threaten his world.Coincident with the inevitable showdown between native and alien cultures, a portentous event of nature occurs, the harbinger of momentous changes in the order of things, to provide a thrilling and cataclysmic climax to the Magesty trilogy.
