Set in the imagined city of Viriconium, here are the masterworks that revolutionized a genre and enthralled a generation: The Pastel City, A Storm of Wings, In Viriconium, and Viriconium Nights.

The darkness makes itself known to Namir and his friends in harsh ways. Things are never what they seem and those struggling to survive find it even harder. Threats, like death, come unannounced. Although the search for Halin nears its end, Nurn and Jerine still have hardships to face. Meanwhile, Hessa and Aves face a different kind of threat. All the while Namir finds new challenges in his quest to obtain his birthright.

Driven by prophetic dreams, the Viking warrior Shef has become the One King, the undisputed ruler of the North. Now he must face the reborn power of the Holy Roman Empire.

Namir must find the courage to face those who would stop him from fulfilling his fate. All the while, his best friend, Nurn, searches valiantly to find his missing brother.
