In this latest installment of the Thulian Chronicles, Emperor Arka-Dal has to lead a rescue force to the forbidden isle of Norvik.
To get there, he needs the skill and ships of the intrepid Sindbad, who lost many of his crewmen to rampaging, insect-like creatures in a vain attempt to rescue the survivors of a Thulian colony years before--and which he's had nightmares of ever since.
Can he convince the reluctant Sindbad to return to the scene of his most disastrous voyage? Just what did the Dwarfs awaken when the burrowed into the mountains?
Another fantasy hit from master story teller Art Wiederhold and a must read for fans of his earlier novels.
