Cover/Jacket Text:
...A planet hangs on the threshold between Order and Chaos,
a focus of strange powers and portals to alien dimensions. Sorcery clashes with
ancient technology while capricious deities make war and the Dragonlords walk
as men. Against them all rises the Unlife, a force whose dark servants seek the
destruction of all that
lives...
The long wait is over...
Return to the Shadow World, home of Dragonlords and Loremasters, mysterious
ancient civilizations and Navigators who ride the magical Flows of Essænce.
