Spite at last is named: the Necromancer is its leader and he is seeking a return to the World that banished him. Earth’s Blood, once thought to be the Dwarves, is now revealed in the One Tree; it is everyone’s and everything’s. And this is what the Necromancer needs to return as within it is the power of hope and despair, a prophecy which seems to suggest his mastery of the past, the present and the future.Caliphe and Taithe are sucked deeper and deeper into his designs as they travel within the mountains and the great forest of Glimmershade. Terrible truths are revealed to both as they battle Dark Witches, rogue Giants, Neffelin, ancient forestalls, and venture into the hidden fortresses of Raven’s Loft and Gul-a-Dor.The Effelin, Caliphe’s race, are ruined by their past, and this is what they must first undo in overcoming the Necromancer. The past is his. But can they save the present and the future from him? This is the fight they face and to do that they must not only understand their pasts, but also come to terms with their futures which seem increasingly bleak. Can they hold onto the love they have for each other, in the face of mounting criticism from foes and allies alike?

Nicholas has lived and worked in Indonesia for most of his career as a teacher of English but has now retired. He is focusing on his writing currently, which has taken precedence over his teaching. He still visits England for holidays in the summer but, he is settled now in Indonesia, preferring the quiet and relaxing life of the culture. He does miss England; its rolling hills and historic houses still draw him back to the time of his youth. But Indonesia is home now. And writing his love. Long may both continue.
