Luthien Bedwyr, warrior leader of an elven rebellion and crusader for justice known as the Crimson Shadow, will not rest until he vanquishes the evil Wizard-King Greensparrow forever and wipes out the tyrant's cyclopean army. No less than the fate of Luthien's oppressed kingdom of Eriador hangs in the balance.

But Luthien now faces his greatest challenge. His fierce alter ego may wield a magical sword and wear a scarlet cape that renders him invisible, but his formidable adversary has a counterpart of his own: an unstoppable and bloodthirsty colossus of a dragon.

Hailed by Terry Brooks as a "fine adventure filled with memorable characters and compelling action," this spellbinding series comes to a rousing finish, giving us "a world of depth and humanity, filled with color and sound and feeling and with heroes we can't help but admire" (Tracy Hickman, New York Times-bestselling author of the Bronze Canticles Trilogy).
