Disaster has struck at the ruins of Akh-tazi: Maladar, the Faceless Emperor, is reborn, and Barreth Forlo is his prisoner, trapped in his own body.

Forlo’s friends must find a way to stop Maladar before his power grows too great—and the solution may lie with Azar, Forlo’s supernatural son.

Shadow of the Flame brings the adventures of Forlo, Shedara, and Hult to a fiery, thrilling climax—and changes the continent of Taladas forever.
