The #1 bestselling series finally back in print for the 20th Anniversary has been translated into 17 languages and sold over 5 million copies worldwide! Enter the fantasy world of Ruin Mist. Perfect for the young and the young at heart. After the Great War that divided the peoples, the kingdoms of men plunged into a Dark Age that lasted 500 years.
