Reviews
"David Drake's Air and Darkness finishes up the series in suitably grand style." -- San Francisco Book Review "The whole tale strongly recalls that of Odysseus and other mythological travelers through underworlds, and fans of such stories will enjoy Drake's take." -- Publishers Weekly, For Out of the Waters "Imaginative and fast-paced... A world so solidly realistic that the fantastic elements become all the more vivid and wondrous." - Publishers Weekly "Consummate storyteller and prolific author Drake's latest novel should please his many fans as well as fans of the classical age." - Library Journal

Synopsis
Air and Darkness, an intriguing and fantastic adventure, is both an independent novel and the gripping conclusion of the Books of the Elements, a four-volume set of fantasies set in Carce, an analog of ancient Rome by David Drake. Here the stakes are raised from the previous novels in an ultimate conflict between the forces of logic and reason and the forces of magic and the supernatural. During the extraordinary time in which this story is set, the supernatural is dominant. The story is an immensely complex journey of adventure through real and magical places. Corylus, a soldier, emerges as one of the most compelling heroic figures in contemporary fantasy. Battling magicians, spirits, gods, and forces from supernatural realities, Corylus and his companions from the family of the nobleman Saxa-especially Saxa's impressive wife Hedia, and his friend (and Saxa's son) Varus-must face constant deadly and soul-destroying dangers, climaxing in a final battle not between good and evil but in defense of logic and reality.
