** spoiler alert ** Damien, Tarrant and Hesseth the Rakh woman (Rakhs are Erna´s native species) dare to cross the ocean to find and destroy their enemy the Dark Prince who has built his palace in the Black Lands on the eastern continent. Arriving there after a long journey they find a wealthy empire but have soon to realize all that glitters isn´t gold. They are forced to flee and embark on a journey to find the crystal palace of their enemy through a hostile wasteland. On their way they rescue the young girl Jenseny a natural adept who joins them on their dangerous mission. As they draw nearer and nearer to the Evil Prince´s home the more hopeless their situation gets: chased by demonic monsters, the disappearance of Tarrant, the death of Hesseth (yes, the autor has no scruples to kill off a main character) and the betrayel of Damien´s most important ally.. This second book seems to be a gap-filler between book 1 and 3 I suspect. Really, there could have been at least 200 pages less in my opinion. 600 pages are too much for our heroes not even coming anywhere near their real demonic antagonist. The length of this book tried my patience and again I was tempted just to cast it aside but.. sigh… I couldn´t stop reading. Homepage of the author: http://www.csfriedman.com/
