Three years ago, Xilor's death ended the second Wizard's War, yet it gave rise to a tyrant, and Godfrey's will won't be denied. But the Krey aren't a nation to be shackled. Rage and rebellion are simmering at the boiling point.

Starriace still searches for the brimstones, but her strange powers endanger her loved ones. And everyone faces new threats: the aging disease killing large swaths of the population, an ancient evil from the Underworld, and the machinations of the enigmatic Time Warden.

The Jackal of Shades is the third installment in the Dark Legacy Series.
