The Swordsman's Oath: Book Two: The Tales of Einarinn (Second Tale of Einarinn) - Tapa blanda

Ryshad had no choice but to kill his long-time friend and ally Aiten. Aiten's mind had been corrupted by the mysterious Elietimm and he was a danger to himself and a deadly threat to others.

The wizards are trying to find a way to combat the strange aetheric magic of the Elietimm, which threatens to destroy the land.

What he doesn't know yet is that he will have to work with Livak, with whom he had a brief love affair, and that the strange dreams he has been having may hold the key to the mysterious Elietimm ...
