Dark Storm Rising (Shadow Over Shandahar)

Shandahar is a cursed world. For nearly six centuries people will live their lives. Many will have children. Some will lead a simple existence while others achieve great accomplish-ments. Then they will die. In spite of having seen almost two and a half thousand years of 'written' history, Shandahar has yet to experience the turn of the seventh century . . . because the world is cursed to repeat itself. Shandahar is in great peril. The curse has enabled the ascension of Lord Aasarak. Leaving arcane clues for himself to find in the next repetition has made him the most powerful sorcerer who has ever lived. But there is a glimmer of hope in the darkness. Renowned prophet, Johannan Chardelis, foretells the coming of the Warrior of Destiny and the thirteen people who have the potential to bring an end to the curse and pave the way for a new era. They have failed four times already. Who or what will help them succeed this time?
