Story
Long ago, the world fell into twilight, when the great empires of old consumed each other in sorcerous cataclysms. In the south, the Star Towers fell, swallowed by the sea, while the black glaciers descended upon the northern holdfasts, entombing the cities of Min-Ceruth in ice and sorcery. Then from the ancient empire of Menekar, the paladins of Ama came, putting every surviving sorcerer to the sword and cleansing their taint from the land. The pulse of magic slowed, fading like the heartbeat of a dying man. But after a thousand years, it has begun to quicken again.

I'm not really sure who this book is meant for
It contains spoilers for nonreaders and only a little new info for finished readers. The first half is amazing for a finished reader looking to learn more about the world history prior to the books. The last half is weird because this book was written before the story ends, so you hear about stuff you've already read, AND it's unfinished.

Lots of information
Gives good back story. Definitely a good read. I would recommend reading at least the first 5 books before reading this.
