On the surface, the assignment seemed like cushy work - to protect a lady and her husband and deliver them safely to the city of LaMut.
Durine, Kethol and Pirojil are three mercenaries who have spent the past 20 years fighting other people's battles: against the Tsurani and the Bugs and the goblins, and now it seems they've run out of Tsurani, Bugs and goblins to kill. Durine wasn't worried, though, because Kethol was the clever one and always came up with something. So after the welcome respite of a few months of garrison duty, a gentle journey to LaMut should have been completely straightforward...

Among the Orosini tribe, every boy must undergo the traditional manhood ritual in order to understand his place in the universe and discover his manhood name. Kielianapuna must survive on the remote mountain peak of Shatana Higo until the gods grant him his vision. But Kieli has already waited for four days and nights, and now he is cold, lonely, despairing, and very, very tired...
When he is woken by the terrifying sensation of sharp claws piercing his skin, and finds a rare silver hawk upon his arm, it is such a disorientating moment that he is not sure whether it has even happened, or whether it was a vision.
Returning to his home, nameless and still a child, Kieli stumbles upon devastation. His village is being burned, his people slaughtered. Although it means certain death, Kieli throws himself into the battle...
Against all the odds, he survives, alone of all the Orosini, who have been cut down where they stand: every last man, woman and child.
A distant voice echoes in his mind: Rise up and be a talon for your people...
The visitation of the bird on Shatana Higo was indeed his naming vision. He is a boy called Kielianapuna no more. Now he is Talon of the Silver Hawk, a man who must avenge the murder of his people, whatever that may take...

Talon, last of the Orosini tribe, has been transformed by the Conclave of Shadows from a trusting boy to a dashing nobleman. He is now Talwin Hawkins, Roldem's premier swordsman, and he has one desire - to avenge the massacre of his family.
Two of the culprits are already dead by his hand, but Tal will not rest until he uncovers the reason for the murders and punishes their architect. But the Conclave demands its membership price: he must investigate Leso Varen, a magician of terrible power. To do this means service with the sourcerer's master, Duke Kaspar of Olasko. He must swear loyalty to the very man he suspects of slaughtering his family, even if it means tracking down the Duke's enemies - the members of the Conclave and Talon's own friends.

Once absolute ruler of his nation Kaspar, former Duke of Olasko, is cast into exile. Abandoned in the wilds of a nation on the other side of the world and left with nothing but his wits and determination, he must fight merely to survive the next day. Armed with guile and cunning, strength of purpose and an iron will, he starts his odyssey with a single goal: to return to his home and revenge himself on the man who cast him down, Talwin Hawkins.
But fate has other plans for Kaspar, and as he struggles against nearly overwhelming adversity, he encounters dangers and threats far greater than any he had imagined, compelling him to seek unlikely allies. Far more is at stake than Kaspar realises. He is but a single player in a deadly game, for pitted against the Conclave of Shadows are the agents of the Dark Empire, a looming menace that threatens not only Kaspar's homeland of Olasko, but the entire world of Midkemia in a struggle that would make the Riftwar and the Serpentwar seem trivial.

On the world of Kelewan, Pug's son, Magnus, and the master magicians of Kelewan study one of the warriors, called a Talnoy, and discover that it is acting as a beacon for a vast army of alien invaders, one so formidable that even the might of the Tsurani Empire could fall before its fury.
Three other agents of the Conclave - Kaspar, Talwin, and Caleb - are sent deep into the heart of the Empire of Great Kesh charged with uncovering a new nest of Night Hawks who are plotting to overthrow the imperial government; a scheme so dark and twisted it implicates even the highest ranking nobles of the Empire and members of the royal family itself.

Chaos threatens to overwhelm two worlds as the most dangerous force ever encountered threatens to invade Midkemia, while the most treacherous magician in history - the madman Leso Varen - begins to wreak havoc on the world of Kelewan. Pug and the Conclave of Shadows are determined to find Varen, only to discover that he has usurped the body of one of the most powerful men in the Empire of Tsuranuani - a Black Robe and member of the Assembly of Magicians. Pug has the almost impossible task of uncovering the true identity of the fiendish magician in an entire city full of Black Robes. Murder, mayhem, horror, and the darkest evil await Pug's son, Magnus, and his companions as they attempt to discover the ultimate source of the terrible threat that hovers over Midkemia and Kelewan. Leading a desperate expedition into the realm of the Dasati, the vast and malevolent empire which is threatening his homeworld, Magnus hopes to find the key to defeating this enemy who is capable of overwhelming the combined might of two worlds. But even if he does, the companions will have a desperate struggle to return home with their vital information. Three worlds will teeter on the brink of destruction as the third Riftwar: the Darkwar, is unleashed.
