About this ebook

No longer does the threat of civil war hang over the Island of the Sixteen Gods. Edrun and his companions can relax for a while before returning to their homes. But the High Priest and Priestess complain that brigands are causing trouble in one of the more remote corners of the territory of the Lute. Edrun and his companions offer to eradicate this menace, but instead Edrun ends up stumbling in the dark with a crack on the head, lost in a storm. When he awakes, he is still in the land of Lute...or is he? Where are his friends? Where is the Inn of the Stranger Maiden? And who are these men--the sinister Brotherhood of the Sword? Edrun is forced to wonder if he is, in fact, dead, journeying on the path of the Sixth Stage, and, if so, can he ever get back again?

About the author

English born Stephen Symons lives in a little old cottage Christchurch, New Zealand, with wife Ruth and cat Bentley.

He has been fascinated by stories and story-telling ever since he can remember, the stranger the better. He wrote his first fantasy 'novel' at the age of nine, all the while devouring stories by such authors as Edgar Rice Burroughs, J R R Tolkein, Marion Zimmer Bradley and Mary Stewart, all the while developing the world of the Kalion Islands.

Now semi-retired, it was the devastating earthquakes that destroyed much of Christchurch in 2010-2011 that gave him the impetus to set some of his stories down in novel form in order to share them with the world.
