About this ebook
The New York Times–bestselling author’s epic fantasy finale to the series “featuring a fast-paced mix of wry humor, high fantasy, and amazing new places and creatures” (Publishers Weekly).
Hymneth the Possessed has been warned. He is coming—and he’s not alone. A master of necromantic arts, a questioner of all that is unanswered, a seeker of justice. Hymneth feels no threat in the warning, for no one in all the kingdoms in all the realms is as powerful as he is. His only weakness is the beautiful woman trapped in his tower: the Visioness of Laconda. Since her captivity, she has continued to ignore and despise him. He possesses no more of her presence than he does of her passion.
But herdsman Etjole Ehomba is on his way, hardened by his adventures, ready to complete his quest to find the Visioness and return her to her people. At his side are his loyal companions—a swordsman, a gigantic black cat, and an ape-like creature. Together they have crossed the Semordria Ocean, languished in its doldrums, fenced its winds, helped by sargassum men, crabs, and krakens. Their journey is coming to end. And the showdown between humble herder and malevolent wizard will unleash forces that the world has never seen . . .
Praise for the Journeys of the Catechist Trilogy
“The effect of this book is that of tales within tales, like those of Sinbad and his many voyages; a thousand dissimilar elements somehow fit together seamlessly. This is Foster at his best, thoughtful and fun.” —Booklist
