A Man Rides Through

In the concluding volume of Stephen R. Donaldson's 'Mordant's Need' series, 'A Man Rides Through' plunges deeper into the perilous world of Mordant as it faces annihilation. The kingdom is under siege by the ruthless Arch-Imager Vagel and his magically empowered armies, leaving its fate in the hands of two unlikely heroes. Terisa Morgan, a woman inexplicably transferred from Manhattan, and Geraden, a knight whose magical ineptitude made him an outcast, are Mordant's last hope. Having discovered latent, formidable powers within themselves, their newfound abilities make them a match for any Imager, including Vagel himself. However, these very talents brand them as traitors, forcing them to flee the castle and navigate a war-torn landscape rife with terrifying magical horrors. Pursued and reviled, Geraden and Terisa must confront their past failures, embrace their profound connection, and master their extraordinary gifts before Vagel can unleash his ultimate, devastating trap upon Mordant.
