Aglirta is known as the Kingless Land--once prosperous and peaceful, it has now fallen into lawlessness, studded with feuding baronies engaged in a constant state of war. The only hope for peace lies in the legend of the Sleeping King: destined to rise and restore peace when the Dwaerindim stones are recovered.
Lady Embra Silvertree is the sorceress daughter of a bellicose baron with an eye towards world domination. She has been imprisoned by her father who hopes to use her as a magical battery to fortify his castle. When a pair of good natured rogues attempt to steal one of her jewel encrusted gowns, they are quickly enlisted as allies to help her escape and, with the aid of a shape-shifting cleric, to seek out the Dwaerindim. |

The Band of Four must quest for a powerful secret that will restore the kingdom to its former glory. |

A Dragon's Ascension - A Band of Four novel
Aglirta is known as the Kingless Land. Once a prosperous and peaceful river valley, it has fallen into lawlessness, and its feuding baronies are engaged in a constant state of war. But the land is kingless no more, for the Sleeping King of legend, King Kelgrael, has been reawakened by the efforts of the valiant Band of Four:
- Hawkril, a bold and brave warrior gifted with great strength and fortitude
- Craer, the crafty and clever thief
- Sarasper, the learned and wise healer and last but not least
- Lady Embra Silvertree, the mystical Lady of Jewels, a powerful sorceress
Yet peace has not returned. In The Kingless Land, high magic and wizard kings stood in the way, while in The Vacant Throne, civil wars and backstabbing barons resisted the restoration of order.
Now, a powerful warlord comes to the front to take control through military might, while the diabolic minions of the Serpent move into position for a climactic battle that will scar the Band of Four forever. |

| CHRONICLE
OF AGLITA |
| The Silent House |

| Writer: Ed Greenwood Publisher:
Tor Books |
In the Band of Four series that started with The Kingless Land, Ed Greenwood introduced the land of Aglirta through the exploits of a band of four brave adventurers.
But this world has not yet revealed all its tales.
The Silent House
A Chronicle of Aglirta
The Silvertree Stronghold is more than just the family estate of the feared and awed Silvertree dynasty whose wizardly powers and political cunning has survived through many generations.
But with their power comes a curse.
A curse more terrifying than rival warlords or the mystical threats of the dreaded faceless -- an inward corruption of the soul that binds one's power to a downward spiral of madness and magic.
The Stronghold goes by the name of The Silent House. It is a soul repository for this dynasty. Two daring treasure hunters hope to profit from unlocking the secrets of its past and harvesting the powers of its bounty ¿ but unbeknownst to them an observer watches their every move, and waits to make his presence known from the halls of eternity.
The Silent House is a Chronicle of Aglirta, the multigenerational tale of a powerful and feared wizardly dynasty. |
