The Silver Mage cover

The Silver Mage

by Katharine Kerr

"The wild Northlands hold many secrets, among them the mysterious dweomer island of Haen Marn, the mountain settlements of Dwarveholt, and the fortified city of Cerr Cawnen, built long ago by former Deverry bondmen. Thanks to the Horsekin, who continue to push their religious crusade south toward the borders of the kingdom, the human beings of Deverry and their elven allies have realized that the fate of the Northlands lies tangled with theirs. Although the dwarven race holds strong, the island of Haen Marn has vanished, and the city of Cerr Cawnen seems doomed. Only through the magic of such elven Wise Ones as Dallandra and Valandario and the intervention of the powerful dragons, Arzosah and Rori, do the allied forces have a hope of mastering the secrets that can save the Northlands and themselves from conquest."--Page 4 of cover.
