Corrash, Kuduth, and Ural had journeyed long to fi nd the mysterious Shadowmere,
and the Cliffs of Torment that stood at the lake’s edge.
But fi rst, they had to deal with the Shadowmere’s fi ercest denizen—and then they had to reach the Orb before the agents of the Lords of Dust who
had been trailing them for weeks. . . .
Somewhere in the cliffs they hoped to fi nd the Orb of Kevrik the Crusader.
