Book Description

Publication Date: 16 July 2001 | Series: Sovereign Stone Trilogy 2

The second volume in the Sovereign Stone trilogy, a gripping fantasy series filled with unique characters, from the authors of the bestselling DRAGONLANCE books

Generations after Vinnengael was laid to waste at the hands of Dagnarus, Gustav, the last human Dominion Lord, finally achieves his lifelong quest when he discovers the lost portion of the Sovereign Stone. Badly injured in a battle with one of Dagnarus's fearsome, otherworldly servants, Gustav entrusts the stone to young Bashae, without revealing its significance.

Bashae must make the long and dangerous journey to the Elven lands and deliver the jewel to a trusted friend of Gustav's, who will ensure it reaches the altar built for it in New Vinnengael. At all costs, the Stone must stay out of Dagnarus's hands. But hearing that it is in the possession of his enemies, Dagnarus unleashes war, hoping to seize the Stone in the conflict.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another brilliant read from the masters!!!! 10 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
As usual Weis & Hickman have created a world and characters that you can really get involved with. I was dubious at the start that, as the story had moved on some two hundred years, they had moved on too far and lost the continuity from the Well of Darkness. But was soon enthralled and for me, this was, undoubtedly, much better than the first book in the series and so I eagerly await the final volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Continuation 3 Sep 2003
By J. Cronin VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
The second episode in the Sovereign Stone trilology delivers action and adventure by the bucketful, but also contains a great and well-written story. It's been two hundred years since the transformation of Prince Dagnarus into The Lord of the Void, and the creation of the Vrykyl. The human portion of the Sovereign Stone has been lost, and the power of the human Dominion Lords is weakening. Gustav, the Whoreson knight, is nearing the end of his life, one which he has devoted to seeking out the Sovereign Stone. His perserverance pays off, but before he can return the stone to the Dominion Council, he battles a Vrykyl, which costs him his life. Before he passes away, he entrusts the stone to Jassan, a young Trevinci warrior and Bashae, a pecwae. Together they must journey to New Vinnengael to deliver the stone safely.

But this isn't the only story going on in the book. We also follow Raven, Jessan's uncle, as he is taken prisoner by the ferocious taan, huge desert creatures in the employ of Dagnarus. We meet Damra, an elven Dominion Lord, and her efforts to escape and overcome the political machinations of the elven rulers.

The second book in the trilology doesn't disappoint, delivering creat characters, both good and evil, along with some humour and action. Bring on the third, I can't wait to see how this one ends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guardians of the Lost 1 Mar 2005
By humanitysdarkerside VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I have not read the first instalment in the trilogy "The Sovereign Stone", yet this did not pose a problem in getting into the story line. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman write excellently together.

The Dominion Lord Gustav finds what is know as the Sovereign Stone. Once upon a time the gods gave the stone to the world telling the people to keep the stone whole. Of course, people being people (well intentioned and all), the stone is divided into four parts and sent to the orks, the dwarves, the elves and the last part is kept by the humans. Of course, what was not foreseen was that there was a fifth part (the void part) as well.

This brings us back to Lord Gustav. Lord of the Void (Dagnarus) wants to gather all four parts of the stone. Lord Gustav's mission in life has been to search for the human part of the stone. This part was taken from Dagnarus 200 years before this book begins (yes Dagnarus is 200 years old). Gustav is on the trail of the stone and senses he is followed. Upon finding the stone, Gustav is attacked by the Void's equivalent of a Dominion Lord - the Vrykyl. Gustav is mortally wounded but retains the stone in his possession. He is no longer able to carry the stone to the council of the Dominion Lords and places this burden upon a pacwae (Bashae) and a trevinici (Jessan) who are joined by The Grandmother (another pacwae). To foil the Vrykyl the dwarf Wolfram and Jessan's aunt Ranessa are sent off in another direction.

This book follows the paths of both parties along with the Vrykyl's difficult chase of them.

A fun book, ending with me wanting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars What horrors await from the Void? 23 Sep 2012
By Keen Reader TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Two hundred years after the fall of Vinnengael, and the loss of the human's portion of the Sovereign Stone, something is stirring again. The last human Dominion Lord, Gustav, is nearing the end of his quest; strange hostile warriors are being reported; political stirrings between formerly friendly nations are leading to a buildup of war forces. And could Dagnarus really be back, after all this time?

The reader is torn in all directions in this story; with Wolfram and Ranessa going in one direction, the Trevinici Jessan, the pecwae Bashae and the Grandmother and their various companions going in another, and Raven ending up unwillingly in the middle of the enemy camp. The machinations of Dagnarus, the Vrykyl, and the elves, add to the momentum that builds up to a crescendo throughout the book. The setup for the third and final instalment in the trilogy is great.

I really enjoyed this book, as I did the first book in the trilogy, and look forward immensely to revisiting the end of the series in the third book, Journey into the Void.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just when you thought they couldn't get any better....... 18 Oct 2002
By D. Leahy
Format:Paperback
I'll keep it brief. Read this book! It is the best read I've had since the preceeding one in this trilogy, "Well of Darkness". The original idea of telling a story based on the villains' perspective really impressed me. Despite being unable to 'cheer the protagonists on', the depth and complexity of their characters allowed me to feel sympathetic towards them. I can't wait to find out how it all ends!

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, if slightly flawed 29 July 2002
By M MCGUIRE
Format:Paperback
Having read the first book in the series, "Well of Darkness," I was left champing at the bit to find out the next stage in the dark chronicles of Dagnarus. The second novel in the trilogy did not disappoint. The characters were well drawn out and the whole story sucked me in from beginning to end. The many different narrative strands, far more mature and dark than anything else I have read in recent times, never bored me and it was refreshing to find a book in which political machinations played an important, but not overwhelming, role in the storyline.

The only flaw (if one can call it that) comes at the climax. I will not spoil it for anyone, but whilst the ending does leave you gasping for more, you cannot help but see it coming.

However, do not let this put you off reading what is one of the best fantasy series around today. If the first two book are anything to go by, the final chapter, "Journey into the Void," should be mindblowing.
