The Book of Tarabeneth is a fast-paced adventure that stretches the imagination beyond the confines of the physical world. Set in Sarazareen, the capital city of the remote and mysterious land of Thebeta, the city is the last remaining stronghold of an arcane knowledge that has kept the world at peace for a thousand years. But things are changing. The demon Meera, Lord of Desire is poised, ready to attack. Determined to end the country's peaceful and ancient way of life, he is ready to unleash the perfect storm. But will he succeed? Few have the skills to defeat so devious a foe. The mind-training schools whose task it is to protect the people are in disarray and their leaders, the Abbot and Abbess, struggle to understand the complexities of what is unfolding. They have laid down plans - but are they enough? So much rests on Salbar and Jisi, their chosen successors, but they are young and inexperienced and there are doubts as to their readiness. Both are unfamiliar with the ways of the outer world, and both share hidden burdens from the past that may yet be their undoing. Will they manage to restore order in such desperate times? Or will the world be plunged irrevocably into the upheaval and suffering of the Age of the Four-Fingered Devil?
