Now the land of Balaia, still riven by war, must live with the consequences. The Dawnthief spell - designed to destroy the world, but cast to save it - has torn a hole in the sky, a pathway into the dragon dimension, and, through it, unfriendly eyes are turning to Balaia.<br>With war already sweeping the land, there are no armies to send against the dragons. All that stands between Balaia and complete dominion by these tyrannous beasts is a tiny, but legendary band of mercenaries: The Raven.<br>And if they fail, Balaia will fall beneath the wings of countless dragons ... <br>James Barclay has created a fantasy epic of rare intensity and blistering pace peopled by characters you can believe in.
