Synopsis

Searching for his long-lost father, Bransen Garibond is tricked into journeying across the Gulf of Corona to the wild lands of Vanguard, where he is pressed into service in a desperate war against the brutal Ancient Badden. On a lake just below Badden's magical ice castle, several disparate societies dwarves, monks and barbarians - are caught up in the web of their own conflicts, and thus oblivious to his devastating plan to destroy them by releasing a tidal wave to wipe their island clean. Bransen finds himself becoming the link between these turmoils, and if he fails, all who live on the lake will perish and all of northern Honce willl fall under the shadow of a merciless and vengeful oppressor.

Media Reviews
Salvatore excels in world-building and creating complex, introspective characters who triumph through wit and determination as well as skill in open combat.
-- Library Journal on R. A. Salvatore
Bob Salvatore always makes the most fantastic seem real. His heroes become friends we care about, and his foes fascinate.
--Ed Greenwood on R. A. Salvatore
Salvatore's strongest fantasy to date. [His] potent mixture of detailed historical context, well-rounded characters (including secondary figures torn by conflicted loyalties to their church and state), brisk pacing and exciting battle scenes make for a consuming read.
-- Publishers Weekly on The Demon Apostle
Lacks nothing in pacing and well-handled battle scenes. This is his most ambitious book to date.
-- Booklist on The Demon Awakens
Mortalis is Salvatore at his best--and even better.
-- New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole
