On another world, a jewel is sought and a deadly god struggles to be free.

Dark Thane

The Last Clansman: Book 2

Miller Lau

Sixteen years have passed since the events of Talisker. Duncan Talisker watches his children, Tristin and Regan, ride off to Soulis Mor, where Tristin is to be made Thane. But Regan, with the darkness of the dead god Corvus in her soul, is open to evil. She finds this in the arrival of Jahl - who is actually the son of Talisker and Phyrr, sister to Corvus. Despite Tristin's warnings, she takes up with the newcomer, and her actions lead to war...

Meanwhile, in Edinburgh, a darkness is spreading over from the world of Sutra, and Jahl's influence rises through his cat's-paw Knox, leader of a religious community.

As Regan decides whether or not to kill her brother, and Knox prepares the way for Jahl to manifest in our world, Talisker must take a hand in mighty events again... Dark Thane features some of the same characters as Talisker, but also the children who were born in the first book.

The Last Clansman: Book 3

Miller Lau

Much has changed in the Otherworld of Sutra since the events of Dark Thane. The Fine and the Sidhe now share Sutra with a new race - the Shoreth.

Although they have always been a semi-nomadic, warlike people, the Shoreth are finally ready to end to their travels. To some, however, giving up the warrior's path is unthinkable, and in the brilliant but arrogant General Zarrus they find a champion who has influence over the emperor himself. If Zarrus has his way, the fragile peace between the three races will be shattered forever.

Meanwhile, in Arizona, a Navajo elder is haunted by dreams and visions he cannot understand, scenes of battles outside his experience. In desperation, he sends his nephew, Michael Talloak, known to his tribe as Yiska, to Scotland to perform a Spirit Walk at the battle site. There Yiska raises the ghost of the highland warrior, Malky MacLeod, and learns of the existence of the Otherworld and the connection between the two planes of reality. The source of his uncle's visions, it seems, lies in Sutra, and in order to cross over, he and Malky will need the help of Duncan Talisker. But Talisker, worn out by living two lives in two very different worlds, has cracked. He now languishes in a mental hospital, unaware of the danger that stalks him from Sutra...
