About the book: 2004 / The first book of the saga of Raldnor by Tanit Lee. Critics unanimously compare this trilogy to the works of Moorcock! ...Rumor about the glorious deeds of Raldnor - the magician and swordsman - flies from kingdom to kingdom. Already now, he, a lone hero, the illegitimate son of the king of the Firstborn Vis and the priestess of the black Snake Goddess, has no and cannot be equal. But there is a vague prophecy - one day Raldnor will gain TRUE POWER. And then the WHOLE WORLD will shake!
