Nekromantikern har funnit en tillfällig tillflykt hos en grupp hemliga anhängare av den legendariske svartmagikern Saladoréen, men oroas allt mer av de unga lärjungarnas fanatism. Uppenbarligen har de inte insett farorna med Saladoréens mörka arv, som bringat så många i fördärvet. Samtidigt hopar sig tecknen på att Fess är nära att förvandlas till den Förintare som allt fler ser i honom. Heliga inkvisitionen har inte gett upp jakten och hans vördighet fader Etlau är ivrigare än någonsin att sätta klorna i den undflyende kättaren. Även stridsmagiker Klara Kummel från Dalen vill gärna få en pratstund med Fess, som sannerligen tycks ha ställt till det för sig i den nya världen. Frågan är om inte Inkvisitionen trots allt har rätt - pojk vaskern verkar faktiskt ha blivit Förintaren! I Klara Kummels spår flyger magikerflickan Silvia i ugglehamn, utsänd för att undanröja den galna upprorskvinnan. Och en dag möts deras vägar på en främmande strand... Samtidigt, i en angränsande verklighet till Evial, slumrar Odjuret. Allt oftare störs dess sömn av de ständiga utbrotten av magi. En sista impuls, en sista stöt, så vaknar varelsen som inte är möjlig i någon av Mångfaldens världar. Boken är den sjunde av tolv i Perumovs omtyckta serie om Nekromantikern Fess.
Author
Nick Perumov (Russian: Ник Перумов ) is the pen name of Nikolay Daniilovich Perumov (Russian: Николай Даниилович Перумов; born 21 November 1963), a Russian fantasy and science fiction writer. Perumov was born November 21, 1963 in Leningrad, USSR. He began writing short stories since he was a teenager, and after reading The Lord of the Rings in the early 1980s, he became a fantasy fan. After studying at the Leningrad Polytechnical Institute, Perumov worked at a research institute, and later as a translator. In 1985-1991 he his debut 'Кольцо Тьмы ' (The Ring of Darkness), a fantasy triology, which consisted of two novels: Эльфийский Клинок (Elven Blade),Черное Копье (Black Lance)and Адамант Хенны. The events of the book took place in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, 300 years after the War of the Ring. Perumov initially regarded his novel as just a fan fiction written for friends, until one of his colleagues offered to publish it. In 1993 the duology, re-edited and renamed 'Кольцо Тьмы' (The Ring of Darkness) was published in Severo-Zapad publishing, which paid Perumov just $300. The Ring of Darkness has sold at least 100,000 copies, and ranked high in popularity among Russian fantasy readers. At the same time it also provoked a controversy in Tolkien fandom. Some Tolkien fans considered that no one has the right to write sequels to The Lord of the Rings and to change Middle-earth's history. Other critics argue that Perumov eroded the edge between Good and Evil by giving Uruk-hai humanlike behaviour. After the success of his debut, Perumov decided to start a career of professional writer. He wrote the novel 'Гибель Богов' (Godsdoom), the first to be set in Упорядоченное (The Consistent), his universe of multiple connected worlds. The Consistent became the main locale of his following books, including the most known, 8-volume series Хранитель Мечей (The Keeper of Swords). Perumov's books published in overall number of more than 4 millions of copies and translated to many languages, Northern and Eastern European mostly. One of his books, Godsdoom has also been translated to English. At Eurocon 2004 he was awarded as the best fiction writer of Europe. Perumov now lives in the United States of America, where he works at a research center as a microbiologist. He claims writing is his 'hobby', while science is his work.
