- Synopsis
- when shan was fifteen years old, dark soldiers came out of the west, like a cloud of evil boiling over the soft hills of his homeland. They commanded terrible beasts, which killed with hooked claws like scythes and cold eyes that dripped icy fire. The soldiers wore helmets that looked like fiends, tusked and snarling and sneering. The terrible consequences of war have left the boy Shan wounded in body and mind by the invading army of Magravandias. He is taken from his devastated village by the magus Taropat, chosen by the master's mysterious impulse to make Shan his pupil--and a weapon against the invading empire. In his forest hideaway, Taropat teaches the boy both magic and how to hone his loathing of the Mag- ravandian empire into a lethal weapon. The magi of the forest seek to make a hero; bent on revenge, Shan willingly accepts the role. Taropat is far more, even, than the powerful wizard he seems. Shan learns the tragic truth of what befell Khaster Leckery, companion to the dark Dragon Heir, Valraven Palindrake, and husband toValraven's sister. And Shan discovers he himself is soon to become an inextricable part of Khaster's story. The Crown of Silence is the second volume in the Chronicles of Magravandias, Storm Constantine's breathtaking new fantasy masterpiece. The first is Sea Dragon Heir.
