Tear Of The Gods

Third in the massively successful new Krondor series inspired by Feist's global bestselling computer game Return to Krondor. A drop in the ocean? A raid upon the high seas signals an attack of unprecedented magnitude by the forces of darkness. For the holiest of holies; the Tear of the Gods has been lost to the Temple of Ishap. After a raid planned by Bear; one of the most brutal pirates to sail the Bitter Sea; goes dramatically wrong; the colossal gems sink below the waves. So begins a story of the Tear of the Gods; the most powerful artifact known to the Temples of Midkemia. For it allows the temples to speak with their gods. Without it; they are lost for a decade; until another gem is formed in the distant mountains. Squire James; William; and Jazhara; new court magician; must seek out the location of this gem; with Brother Solon; a warrior priest of Ishap; and Kendaric; the sole member of the Wreckers' Guild with the power to raise the ship. They are opposed by the minions of Sidi; servant of the Dark God; who seeks to possess the Tear for his own ends; or to destroy it; denying it to the forces of light. This third tale in The Riftwar Legacy is a breathless race for a priceless treasure. It's a race against time; against the myriad sinister and competing evil forces desperate for the all-powerful prize; and ultimately against the fundamentals of nature; which in Midkemia can be as formidable as the Gods themselves
