Lies of Light — Philip Athans

The Wizard
Furthering the plots of the Red Wizards of Thay while spinning his own webs, he works in the shadows, manipulating the highest reaches of power.

The Woman
Tormented by the ghosts of the past and her own passions, she walks the fine line between sanity and madness, and her obsession may destroy the one thing she loves most.

The Man
A visionary who cares nothing for the petty squabbling of those in power, his one desire is to accomplish his greatest work.
