Others may vie for the top position … but Eddings reigns supreme — Publishers Weekly

David Eddings’s Tamuli Trilogy is reissued with a brand new livery.

Sparhawk and Queen Ehlana must do everything they can to educate Tamuli Emperor Sarabian in the art of leadership if they are to have any chance of standing against the evil forces that threaten their kingdoms. Sarabian’s enemies are regrouping and once again plan to attempt to take the empire for themselves.

More disturbing than the political machinations of court, there have been reported sightings of Shining Ones among the hordes of monsters roaming the land. If Sparhawk and his allies are to have any hope of defeating this growing threat, they must resurrect the sacred jewel of the Troll-Gods. Otherwise, the fate of not just their kingdoms, but the entire world, will be at stake...
