David Eddings spent much of his life in the United State Army, as a buyer for the Boeing Company, has been a grocery clerk, and has taught college English. His first novel, High Hunt (published in 1973), was a contemporary adventure story. Soon the field of fantasy called and thus began a remarkable publishing career. His first two series, The Belgariad and The Malloreon established him and his wife, Leigh, as one of the best selling fantasy novelists in recent memory.
The Tamuli - David Eddings's acclaimed series consists of three volumes: Domes of Fire; The Shining Ones, and The Hidden City. The Tamuli is the sequel to The Elenium. In this series, Sparhawk and friends travel to the Tamul Empire, far to the east.
"Six years had passed since the redoubtable knight Sparhawk had triumphed over the evil God Azash and returned to Elenia with Queen Ehlana, his bride. And now a new danger had arisen to threaten the peace of Ehlana's realm.
The trouble had started quietly. At home, bandits began to plague the hill country. In neighboring Lamorkand, the customary political unrest turned ominous with whispers that the bloody heroes of old soon would rise again. And travelers reported that the Trolls had all disappeared from the icy northern haunts of Thalesia.
Simple problems, apparently unrelated - until an ambassador arrived from the far-off Tamul empire, begging Sparhawk's aid. For these same dangers that stalked Ehlana's kingdom had already struck his realm full-force. The fabled ancient warriors of Tamuli had indeed returned - intent on carnage. Monsters and fell magics had followed, and the havoc and terror they spawned were tearing the empire apart.
The emperor had sent for the Pandion Knight who had killed the God Azash. If Sparhawk wanted to stop this danger before it could savage his own land, he now must lend his aid.
Sparhawk, Ehlana, and their daughter, Princess Danae, agreed to make the grueling trek to the far-distant empire of the east. They traveled in company with a handful of trusted companions: the stalwart champions of the four Militant Orders, the knight Berit, Mirtai the giantess, and the young thief Talen.
With the child-goddess Aphrael to speed their journey, they began the treacherous traverse of the utmost reaches of the Daresian continent, to Tamul's distant capital. There, in the emperor's glittering court, they would encounter corruption, treachery - and a greater danger than any man had faced before!
Eddings opens a bold new chapter in the saga begun in his best selling series The Elenium. In his dazzling trademark style, he weaves a compelling tale of strange magic and breathtaking adventure, staunch friends and deadly enemies. Domes of Fire begins a spectacular new David Eddings trilogy, The Tamuli. Full of marvels and humour, full of romance and shrewdness, above all full of magic, the resources of the epic form are mined deep by the greatest of modern fantasy writers."
