Beyond Wizardwall

Beyond Wizardwall is a triumph. At the beginning of the story, Niko, Tempus's right-side companion, quits the Stepsons. Cut off from the Sacred Band, he falls victim to the Nisibisi witch, Roxane, and worse. The Band becomes embroiled in assassination and skullduggery in this searing conclusion to the Wizard Wars. Whether you've read any other "Beyond" books by Janet Morris, or any other Thieves' World books, the deft characterization and surprising plot twists in "Beyond Wizardwall" will enthrall you. Four strong women, including Tempus's daughter, join the Sacred Banders in this epic fantasy, which climaxes in a surprising twist at the Festival of Man, where Stepsons compete against the best warriors in all the empires and supernatural forces back their favorites to win out over ancient evil.... Beyond Wizardall begins in Tyse, town darker and more mysterious than Sanctuary, and takes us on a break-neck ride where mortals fear to tread. New characters and new challenges face the Stepsons, who must sort out the sorcerous from the merely inimical as emperors fall and Nikodemos's life hangs by a thread. A book that will have you on the edge of your chair. A must for fans of the Sacred Band of Stepsons. I lived it; I loved it; so will you.
