[The Troy Game 04] • Druids Sword

"The year is 1940. The skies above London are filled with German planes on nightly raids, a blitz that brings a barrage of bombs that pound the city into rubble. Each morning Londoners face the previous night's handiwork, and though they are faced with the possibility of sudden death, the people of London are determined to fight the evil that threatens to destroy their nation. They struggle to live normal lives amid the terror and chaos." "But is it only Hitler's Luftwaffe and the blitz that is responsible for all the death and destruction that the city is facing?" "Brutus, the Greek Kingman who brought the bands of power to the isle of Alba millennia ago, once again walks the streets of London, this time as an American major. The men and women who are his eternal companions (and sometimes lovers and enemies) have all been reborn in this time and place. They have come together for one last battle to finally complete the magical Labyrinth buried at the heart of the city. Half completed and resonating with an evil power, the Maze calls to them to complete the Game and possibly set all the players free. As Brutus works to find a solution that will end his age-old pain, he comes to realize that there is a new power that walks the land. It is strong and hungry, and it has its own agenda." And by its actions it could change the world forever. Druid's Sword is the fourth and concluding volume in Sara Douglass's Troy Game series, an historical fantasy series of love and revenge set against the very fabric of time itself.
