At the dawn of the World, the Old Ones called it the Harashil. A thousand years ago, Oballef called it the Lady in Gil. Tigrallef calls it the Pail – when he’s , being polite. For more than twenty years he has carried it inside him, a private demon dutifully bent on bringing down the world and everytbing in it. While the Pain protects Tig against sickness, danger and the rages of time, it wages a constant war of attrition against his mind and soul. With Calla, their son and daughter, and devoted friends Chasco and Shree, Tig has roamed the known and unknown oceans, following a trail which he hopes will lead to the ultimate defeat of the power that lives within him, the power that is coming ever closer to destroying all he holds dear. ‘Bradley’s lucid prose slips down a treat’ — Starburst ‘Rebecca Bradley is a born storyteller … First-rate-fantasy’ — First impressions ‘Enthralling’ — The Times Paperback In excellent preloved condition 336 pages
