The extraordinary story continues in this magnificent installment of the bestselling Majipoor series, begun in Lord Valentine’s Castle.

Dark dreams disturb Lord Valentine’s sleep, a forewarning of the danger that threatens the peace of Majipoor. The Shapeshifters have set in motion a terrifying plan to regain their stolen world and their allies—the ancient gods rising from their eons-long slumber beneath the oceans of the great planet. Suddenly, Valentine faces the greatest crisis of his reign. Either he must plunge Majipoor into a bloody nightmare of war, plague, and chaos, or surrender his life to the mercy of the vengeful Shapeshifters.

    New York Newsday

  • “Expertly balanced…Silverberg demonstrates that a trilogy can get better as it grows—to the point where the third book raises the stature of the first.”

    Publishers Weekly

    Village Voice

Listener Opinions

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Mark | 9/16/2013

    " Conclusion of the Majipoor trilogy. The bad guys do bad things, the good guys do good things, and the good guys eventually win. Meh. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Maddalena | 8/5/2013

    " It's a beautiful story, with interesting characters and the usual world development you find in Silverberg; too bad his writing isn't compelling as I thought it would be. This could have been a four star book, or even a five star one, but it was too difficult to read. "
