3rd book of the series. Thirty years have passed since the trial at Yephas. Father, son and daughter, endowed with the gift or curse of immortality, follow different paths in life. Meanwhile, the world is facing changes. From the depths of the sea waters appears the all-consuming Sleeper, the glow of war blazes over the north, intrigues are woven on the sidelines of the south, and a wild and hungry Beast wanders through the spruce forests of Ofurt. Sangomar is a world in which demons reign, a world without good gods and justice, so even a helping hand given by a devoted friend can hide a blade or poison.
