Ill Met by Moonlight (Scepter'd Isle) (The Serrated Edge)

by Mercedes Lackey (Author)

Synopsis

Unfortunately, he is wrong: Vidal was wounded almost fatally, but now his recovery is complete, and he has set in motion a plan to bring about a new dark age of which Denoriel is dangerously unaware...
