Novice wizard Edmund, indentured slave Tom, and combat-trained Katherine are forced into a dangerous quest when an old terror, the Nethergrim, revives and kidnaps Edmund's brother. Revelations about the Nethergrim's evil nature play off the slowly unfolding tale of Katherine's father's troubling quest to kill the creature decades before, generating fascinating parallels in a story rife with supernatural beasties and bloodcurdling encounters.
