The thrilling conclusion to the Adami Chronicles: a story of intrigue, love, and dark magic set against the backdrop of 13th Century Europe. The story began with Days Dark as Night and continued with Nights Lit by Fire. Now, in Twilight of Shadows, Joet and Simon have survived the siege of Cardester, but their hold on Adama's throne is more tenuous than ever. Squeezed between a wounded but still powerful papal army and the growing ambitions of Haakon, King of Norway, they must now confront an ancient evil rising once more in their midst. Priests and kings, peasants and sorcerers, all will play their part, as the fate of nations hangs in the balance. And this time, neither Simon's strength at arms nor Joet's arcane powers may be enough to save them.
