Search Worlds Without End

Seyonne is a man waiting to die. He has been a slave for sixteen years, almost half his life, and has lost everything of meaning to him: his dignity, the people and homeland he loves, and the Warden's power he used to defend an unsuspecting world from the ravages of demons. Seyonne has made peace with his fate. With strict self-discipline he forces himself to exist only in the present moment and to avoid the pain of hope or caring about anyone. But from the moment he is sold to the arrogant, careless Prince Aleksander, the heir to the Derzhi Empire, Seyonne's uneasy peace begins to crumble. And when he discovers a demon lurking in the Derzhi court, he must find hope and strength in a most unlikely place...

Two years after his battle with the Lord of Demons, Seyonne is tired, troubled, angry, and frustrated. As Ezzaria's only remaining Warden, he carries the entire burden of the worsening demon war on his shoulders, and some Ezzarian elders have set a watch on him to make sure he has not brought some subtle corruption back from his years in slavery. Then a demon encounter unlike any in Ezzarian memory leads Seyonne to question everything he has ever believed. And his search for a demon-possesed child becomes the search for his own soul and the soul of his people.

Seyonne, Warden of Souls, once hunted the Rai-Kirah demons that troubled the world. Remorseless in battle, relentless in pursuit, in the seen and unseen realms he tirelessly fought them, though it cost him his homeland, his wife and his hope. And all of it has been for nothing. For the demons that Seyonne destroyed were not the enemy he thought. A greater power now threatens both humanity and the demons with destruction, and the only hope for survival lies in an alliance between Seyonne and the Rai-Kirah. RESTORATION is the eagerly awaited conclusion to the enthralling debut fantasy series that began with TRANSFORMATION and REVELATION. In the magical tradition of Robin Hobb and J.V. Jones, Carol Berg's unique world and memorable characters confirm her as one of the brightest new stars in the fantasy genre.
