Shadowfall - James Clemens

When darkness falls over the land of men...

Tylar de Noche was once a renowned shadowknight of the realm - before he was betrayed and broken on a slave ship. Now he lurches drunkenly through the streets at night, his legs twisted and his sword hand a gnarled club of poorly healed bone. 

But Tylar's ears are as sharp as ever, and although he can no longer wield a sword he cannot ignore the cries of a woman being assaulted in a dark alley. He arrives too late to save her, but kneeling over her body he realises that the victim was not a woman at all - but an immortal goddess. 

A darkness is about to fall over the land - and it is Tylar who must confront the vengeance of the immortals.
