The dragon king - R. A Salvatore

The magnificent climax to The Crimson Shadow series.

Eriador is on the brink of desolation. The Wizard-King, Greensparrow, has broken the uneasy truce and stormed the borders with massacres and demon sorcery. The short lived liberation is shattered and King Brind is forced to respond. He resists a full scale war: his own forces are weak, and even when allied to rebel nations and the peasant armies lead by Luthien Bedwyr, they would still be hopelessy outmatched. But the grim march of events leaves Brind with little choice: surrender or fight, either way Eridor is doomed. Brind choses to die in a blaze of swords.

Luthien, however, refuses to admit certain defeat. Whilst the terrible war explodes through the mountain plains, he turns to face the core enemy, Wizard-King Greensparrow. Crimson Shadow will aid the young warrior, but even this unquenchable force of magic may falter against Greensparrow's ultimate weapon.
