Curse of the Mistwraith & The Ships of Merior (The Wars of Light and Shadow: Vols 1 and 2
Roc & Harpers Collins, 1994-95.. 690 + 738 p., maps SOFTCOVER: (Orig. paperbacks. Nice Ex-libris stamp on title pages. GOOD & VERY GOOD)
¶ Janny Wurts s epic tale of two half-brothers cursed to life-long enmity develops in this spectacular "It began with a Mistwraith that smothered all the world in fog and dampness, and followed with a war that upended order and overthrew the rule of the High Kings. After five long centuries, animosity still runs deep, and even the memory of sunlight has been forgotten in the land of Athera. Only the words of a drunken seer offer hope that the Mistwraith might be defeated, that the train of hatreds and ills it has inflicted across Athera might one day be set to rights. The Mad Prophet Dakar's augury foretold that a gifted descendant of the old kings would arrive through the Gate between worlds, bringing back the means to heal the lands. But upon the prophecy's fulfillment, the Fellowship Sorcerer Asandir finds that the power to subdue the Mistwraith is split between two princes - half-brothers, strangers to each other, opposites in outlook and upbringing. Only by working together can they restore Athera's lost sunlight - and they are enemies, heirs to a blood feud generations old.";
