Thousands of years ago the gods fought and fell in the deeps beneath what is now Southmarch Castle, then were banished into eternal sleep. Now at least one of them is stirring again, dreaming of vengeance against humankind....

Southmarch Castle is about to be caught between two implacable enemies, the ancient, immortal Qar and the insane god-king, the Autarch of Xis. Meanwhile, its two young defenders, the king’s children Princess Briony and Prince Barrick, are both trapped far away from home and fighting for their lives. Barrick is lost behind the Shadowline, facing all the terrible dangers and mysteries of that magical twilight land.

A group of adventurers searching for a cure for comatose children find themselves trapped in a sequence of virtual worlds, the only opponents of a conspiracy of the rich to live forever in a dream. Now, they are forced to make an uneasy alliance with their only surviving former enemy against his treacherous sidekick Johnny Wulgaru, a serial killer with a chance to play God forever. Few science fiction sagas have achieved the level of critical acclaim - and best-selling popularity - as Tad Williams's Otherland novels.

Otherland. In many ways it is humankind's most stunning achievement: a private, multidimensional universe built over two generations by the greatest minds of the twenty-first century. But this most exclusive of places is also one of the world's best kept secrets, created and controlled by an organization made up of the world's most powerful and ruthless individuals, a private cartel known - to those who know of their existence at all - as The Grail Brotherhood.

Surrounded by secrecy, it is home to the wildest dreams and darkest nightmares. Incredible amounts of money have been lavished on it. The best minds of two generations have labored to build it. And somehow, bit by bit, it is claiming the Earth's most valuable resource - its children.

The Hayholt is besieged by the Norns. Once the home of their immortal brethren, the Sithi, now capital of the kingdom of men, the fabled castle is under attack. And as the world is distracted by this strike against humankind, the Norns' deathless witch-queen Utuk'ku turns towards the mysterious fateful valley called Tanakirú - the Vale of Mists. Meanwhile, Queen Miriamele hurries to save the Hayholt and capture the treacherous noble Pasevalles, but arrives to discover the traitor has escaped.

The Hayholt is in flames. Once the home of the immortal Sithi, now capital of the kingdom of men, the fabled castle has been set ablaze by vengeful Norns. And as the world is distracted by this devastating attack against humankind, the Norns' deathless witch-queen Utuk'ku reaches out to seize the fateful, ogre-haunted valley called Tanakirú—the Vale of Mists. Fooled by the Norn Queen’s trickery, Simon and the Sitha Jiriki must now leave the burning castle behind to race to the forbidden valley.

Der Hochthron von Erkynland wackelt, die königliche Familie ist gespalten und geschwächt. Königin Miriamel wurde in einen brutalen Aufstand im Süden verwickelt. Ist sie, wie man glaubt, tatsächlich bei einem Überfall in ihrer eigenen Kutsche verbrannt? Und der Thronfolger und Enkel Morgan wurde von einer Soldatin Utuk'kus in den Ruinen einer verlassenen Stadt gefangengenommen. König Simon aber versinkt in Trauer und Hoffnungslosigkeit, ohne dass er weiß: Hinter vielen dieser Katastrophen steckt ein übler Verräter am eigenem Hof im Hochhorst.

Band 3 der großen Saga um den letzten König von Osten Ard geht weiter... aber Gefahr droht noch von ganz anderer Seite: Eine tödliche Armee der Nornen, angeführt von der alterslosen, rachsüchtigen Königin Utuk´ku, marschiert in Erkynland ein und hat die Festung Naglimund erobert, ihre Bewohner abgeschlachtet und das uralte Grab Ruyans des Seefahrers geöffnet. Mit Hilfe seiner sagenhaften Rüstung will Utuk´ku den Geist Hakatris beschwören, des Bruders des bösen Sturmkönigs. Selbst die Sithi, mit den Nornen verwandte Feen, können Utuk´kus Triumph nicht aufhalten.
