The exciting conclusion to The Chronicles of Borea! The trials of our three heroes have come full circle with Jared - the All-Bard, Ge-or - the greatest Warrior of an era, and Thistle -The White Wizardess of Borea, confronting the powerful magic of the Black Druid, Aberon and his deadly minions. War is upon the Kingdom and its many peoples; and Might, Music, and Magic will play key roles in what is to come. His sword bloodied in his many adventures across Borea, Ge-or is charged with the monumental task of bringing the diverse peoples of the Kingdom northward to face the powerful Black Druids and their savage hordes as they mass to attack Borea's borders. Meanwhile, Jared and Thistle lead a stout party of adventurers into the deep west to the Black Keep where Aberon commands his forces from afar. Warded by powerful magic, this dark fortress can only be reached through a maze of challenges warded by Aberon to strike at the strength of even the most heroic adventurers. Should they manage to reach the ensorcelled gates, even worse awaits - which Thistle and Sart understand far better than the intrepid band they lead. The death of the old King of Borea leaves the Kingdom in the hands of his weak son. Civil War IS imminent, and Simon-Nathan, now Grandmaster of Bard Hall, must make hard choices as the weight of the Borean World is on his shoulders. In a final clash of light and dark, Book VII of the Chronicles of Borea, The Great War, drives toward a powerful release of all that has come before.
