Silverthorn is the astonishing sequel to Magician - and an even more stirring tale of the imagination. Once again the magical worlds of Midkemia and Kelewan come alive, peopled with princes, kings, squires - and warriors

In Silverthorn a new evil power that raises the dead and makes corpses do battle with the living threatens the new king of Midkemia. And a life-or-death quest is undertaken for an antidote to a poison that fells a beautiful princess on her wedding day. Silverthorn is a stirring tale of magic, chivalry and romance. It is a worthy successor to Magician - and an exciting prelude to the final volume in the Riftwar Saga, Darkness at Sethanon
