Descripción

3 volume set - mass market paperbacks, 7" H. B&w maps. 1. The Runes of War - 495 pp, 1995 4th printing, ISBN 000648025X. "Threatened by a new ice age, barbaric tribes of the vast northern tundra join forces under the bloody rule of warrior-chief Morbak. In the name of his cruel god Vaal Peor they march south to claim dominion of the world. Only the frontier castle of Torra Alta stands in their way. Within its walls, Baron Branwolf prepares his defences. For a thousand years Torra Alta has stood triumphant, unconquerable, perched on the spectacular pillar of rock where dragons once had their lair. But ominous sounds emerge from the labyrinth of dragon-built tunnels beneath the castle. Sabotage is feared. Against the baron's orders, his young son Caspar accompanies the party despatched to seal off the tunnels. There, Caspar discovers an ancient dragon's hoard of treasure gleaming in the magical light of a moonstone, and when he is captured by enemy spies, so is the moonstone. It is not an ordinary one, but the Druid's Eye - with its power Morbak will be invincible. Only the long-abandoned Runes of War can save Torra Alta, and only Caspar can find them - ." 2. The Lost Runes - 608 pp, 1996 3rd printing, ISBN 0006482007. "Caspar travels south into Belbidia with his companions Hal and Brid - into the heart of the New Faith, the enemy of Brid's Goddess. Trailing Vaalakan spies, they seek the Druid's Egg which alone can keep the fortress of Torra Alta safe from enemy attack. But in the land of the Inquisition, all trace of ancient lore has been stamped out, including a sect of mute priestesses known as the Keepers. And without the lost runes they guarded, the Egg may never be found." 3. The Runes of Sorcery - 466 pp, 1997 3rd printing, ISBN 0006482015. "Whoever holds the Egg controls the ancient animals of power - kraken, wyvern and dragon. Whoever cracks the Egg unleashes these monsters on the world, unrestrained, beyond the control of anyone alive. Caspar, Brid and Hal are closing in on its immemorial hiding place. Strange wild beasts that sense their purpose follow close behind. From Yew Wood to Lake of Tears, spies and enemies pursue them. The Mother Goddess has promised that once the Egg is brought to their ancient home in the North, the starving hordes of Vaalakans besieging the castle will be driven back. But creatures of legend desire to be real, and time is running out." Interiors - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks.
