<p>The Kingless Land is kingless no more for the Sleeping King of legend King Kelgrael has been awakened by the efforts of the Band of Four: Hawkril a bold and brave warrior gifted with great strength and fortitude; Craer the crafty and clever thief; Sarasper the learned and wise healer; and Lady Embra Silvertree a powerful sorceress.</p> <p>Yet peace has not returned. In <em>The Kingless Land</em> high magic and wizard kings stood in the way. In <em>The Vacant Throne</em> civil wars and backstabbing barons resisted the restoration of order. Now a powerful warlord comes to the front to take control through military might while the diabolic minions of the Serpent move into position for a climactic battle that will scar the Band of Four forever.</p>
