(2004 | 656 p)
In the world of Shadowmarch humans and the supernatural Qar have lived in a sort of tense stalemate. Humans continue to thrive in the sunshine lands of the south while the Qar hold their own in the eternal twilight of the northern lands. These territories are fiercely protected by a the Qar's magical fence, which is known only as the Shadowline. Shadowmarch is the northernmost of the Human lands, and is the closest to the Qar. The Eddons have ruled peacefully in Southmarch for generations. Peace has existed for so long, in fact, that the story of the Qar folk has faded to superstition. But then the Shadowline begins to move and young Princess Briony Eddon's world starts to fall apart.
Another scrumptious fantasy novel from the esteemed Tad Williams. Highly recommended for fans of the epic fantasy genre.
