Book VI of Cenotaph Road. Lan Martak and his arachnid companion Krek were determined to find out. Only they had the power to stop the half-wizard, half machine Claybore, who hoped to rebuild his dismantled body and evil empire - and whose legionnaires controlled the Cenotaph Road. But a treacherous detour lured Lan to an unknown world, a planet of evil enchantment and lost souls, where the final lesson of magic lay silenced in the tomb of a hero. Will Lan break the spell and stop Claybore? Or will an ancient curse close the road behind him forever? Cover art by David Mattingly.
