Tremain Book Two - Alan J Hill

In this, the second volume of Alan J Hill's Tremain saga, the epic battle between good and evil continues. The Grey One - Isintress, Essdark, call him what you will, but speak his name out loud at your peril - has many in his thrall and at his command. Against him stand 'the seven', a group of disparate talents including a giant, a talking wolf-like creature and a floating spirit, with the adolescent human boy, Sheldrak, at their head. But the seven have become scattered, and the Grey One is working his dark magic even within their ranks... A tale of danger, intrigue and heroism unfolds - or rather a series of parallel tales, as the members of the seven, separated by distance but united in purpose and determination, strive towards a destiny they cannot as yet fully comprehend. As in the first book in the saga, The Seven Faiths, this tautly written adventure has space for humour amid the pacy action, gripping tension, and emotion both poignant and passionate.
