Bøger i The Chronicle of Pip of Pandar serien

Pip, now head of Pandara's army, and soon to be a father, finds himself longing for the excitement of the Battlefield. His responsibilities, how- ever, confine him to the capital, until an emissary from Princess Miko, ruler of the lands to the south of Barbaria, comes to Pandara seeking help to fight demons that plague her kingdom. Pip soon finds, though, that there are things more frightening than demons. This is the third book in the From the Chronicle of Pip of Pandara series.

Pip is a foundling, raised by Auric the tanner and his wife Ludmilla. In the Pandaran capital, Lands End, Pip is the odd one out, picked on by bullies, and friendless, except for Galen, the queen's councilor. When the emperor of Barbaria sets his sights on Pandara, and Pip is taken as a hostage to force Queen Daphne to accede to his wishes, Pip learns a secret-one that could change the course of history for everyone.
