Adept of Chaos, sworn to the Law, the Master rides to confront his terrible destiny. The is the tale of his decision....
The Deceiver
With his dying breath, Keridil Toln, High Initiate of the mystic brotherhood know as the Circle, warned his colleagues of a danger beyond their imagining. For a servant of Chaos had engendered a child—a human girl whom he trained in the arts of darkness to strike at the heart of the Circle and spread his evil upon the earth. Only Karuth, adept and sister of Tirand, the headstrong youth who has become the new High Initiate, realizes the nature of the danger. But her warnings may come too late. For the demon has stolen the soul-stone of one of the seven Lords of Chaos, leaving him a mindless shell. Now there is nothing that can stand in the way of the demon's reign of terror.
The Pretender
Ygorla, demon offspring of Chaos, has at last come of age: Her awesome sorcery has murdered the ruling High Margrave, ravaged his hapless court, and chained in slavery the footloose troubadour Strann. With the soul-stone now in her possession, and protected by her ravenous army of ghoulish warriors, Ygorla plans to use her appalling powers for world domination. Only the mystical brotherhood known as the Circle dares stand in her way—a Circle serving the Lords of Order, ancient enemies of Chaos. As Tirand, the Circle's High Initiate, plots Ygorla's defeat, the Chaos Lords forge an alliance with the resourceful Strann—who has come to realize that Ygorla's destructive fury will be nothing compared to the final, shattering confrontation between the dual might of Chaos and Order.
The Avenger
As troubadour Strann and Karuth the adept wait on the Star Peninsula, Ygorla, demon mistress of an unearthly magic, sweeps toward them at the head of a vast, loathsome army of the dead and the enslaved. Her dream is to conquer the world, to spread torment and despair—but her appalling ambitions extend even further... through the now open Chaos Gate into the realm of the gods themselves. With irresistible sorcery, she herself will become a god—the greatest of all, unchallenged ruler of the universe. But the Lords of Order have ambitions of their own, to defeat Ygorla and humble the rival Lords of Chaos, destroying the Equilibrium that has tamed the power of the deities and brought freedom to humankind. As the titanic struggle builds to a heaven- and earth-shattering climax, Strann and Karuth will have to choose as humanity faces two terrifying options: submission to the crazed Ygorla... or to the gods' uncaring tyranny.
