  From the author of Neverness comes a powerful new epic fantasy series. The Lord of the Rings meets Le Morte D'Arthur in the Ea Cycle. The Lightstone is as rich and as magical as both.

  The world of Ea is an ancient world settled in eons past by the Star People. However, their ancestors floundered in their purpose to create a great stellar civilisation on the new planet: they fell into moral decay.
  Now a champion has been born who will lead them back to greatness by means of a spiritual - and adventurous - quest for Ea's Grail: the Lightstone.
  His name is Valashu Elahad, and he is destined to become King. Blessed (or cursed?) with an empathy for all living things, he will lead his people into the lands of Morjin, into the heart of darkness, wielding a magical sword called Alkadadur, there to recover the mythical Lightstone and return in triumph with his prize.

  But Morjin is not to be vanquished so easily...
