THIS IS THE END ...The dragons have gone home, the elves are safe. The Raven have kept their promises. But fate has not finished with them. As the war between the colleges rages on an old enemy senses that his chance to revenge a bitter defeat has come. Tessaya, Lord of the Paleon Tribes has waited patiently for his moment and now, with Balaia in flames, he makes his move and unleashes the Wesmen hordes. In Xetesk, his forces scattered, Dystran, Lord of the Mount faces certain defeat by the Wesmen unless he unleashes the horrfying power of dimensional magics. And Dystran has not come this far to be beaten at the last by a rabble of ignorant tribesmen. And so the veil between dimensions is torn ...And beyond, a predatory evil stirs. Demons catch the scent of countless souls in Balaia. Can even the Raven prevail when the world is coming to an end? A fantasy milestone is reached. James Barclay brings his sensational saga of The Raven to a heartsopping conclusion.

About the Author:

James Barclay is in his thirties and lives in Maida Vale. In addition to writing novels he is an advertising manager for a leading city investment house.

From Booklist:

The author continues to consistently produce high-quality dark fantasy with a strong and well-handled admixture of classic Tolkein elements. This concluding volume of Legends of the Raven is a case in point. The Raven has saved the elves from the dragons, and the future appears bright. But a greedy hostile warlord covets pretty much everything that is not his, and sends a horde of marauding tribal warriors into the lands under the Ravens protection. This is more than the Raven can handle; aid must be sought from other dimensions. But opening an interdimensional pathway also opens it to the Demons, who sense their opportunity and swarm into civilization on the heels of the barbarians. The action rises to a thunderous climax, which will rivet readers to the second half of the bookif Barclay has not already won their undivided attention. Classic fantasy themes handled with great skill. --Roland Green
