Lan Martak, Krek and Inyx
walk the Cenotaph Road following Clarbore and end up on a planet where
the rain splashes fire as it hits the ground and if you are caught out
in the fog, you go insane. Broit, new leader of the Heresler, a clan of
gnomes that are the gravediggers for all the other gnome clans, bring
the three into the mountain.
A gnome mage, Lirory, leads the Tefize
gnomes against the Heresler in battle after battle. Lirory has collected
Claybore's arms and legs and hidden them on inside the mountain. After
giving Clarbore his arms, Claybore seeks out his legs, but only Lirory
knows where they are. Lan, with Claybore's tongue in his mouth, has
something to say about Claybore getting his legs back.
Ever since Krek
put Claybore's Iron Tongue in Lan's destroyed face, the tongue has imbued
Lan with powerful magic and spells that he knew nothing about are now
easy to perform. But something is wrong with Lan. Is the tongue turning
him evil? Why does he protect Kiska, a woman that has vowed to kill him?
Why is he treating his friends so badly? Can he really prevent Clarbore
from getting his legs all by himself?
Fire and Fog is the
fifth book in the Cenotaph Road series. This book picks up where Iron Tongue leaves off. This is a fantasy story about
Lan Martak, his companion mountain spider, Krek, and Inyx as they pursue the evil
sorcerer Claybore with the intention of preventing Claybore from
collecting all of his body parts and reattaching them back to his body,
thereby giving him unlimited magical power. Ducasien, a warrior from the
same land as Inyx, joins the group with the intention of helping Inyx.
She finds herself torn over this new fighter, as he looks a lot like her
dead husband, and the love she has for Lan, who seems to be rejecting
her friendship.
