Review
“This is the kind of accomplished fantasy—featuring sound characterization, superior world-building, and skillful prose—that has won Judith Tarr a wide audience.” — Booklist
“Tarr leavens this saga of politics and magic with a strong dose of romantic — and sometimes humorous — intrigue, a combination for which she has a special talent.” — Library Journal
“With elegant prose, Tarr beautifully conveys splendid regal settings, realistic politics, convincing cultural details—and cultural clashes. Even when they wield awesome magic energies or manage empires, her appealing characters remain captivatingly human. This is a sweeping saga, spiced with exciting, unexpected plot twists.” —Publishers Weekly

Product Description
udith Tarr's sweeping chronicle of the world of Avaryan has won rave reviews and a legion of devoted fans. The first three of the six volumes of the series were published in omnibus form in 1997, to tremendous success. Now Tor is delighted to offer Arrows of the Sun, The Spear of Heaven, and the newest installment, The Tides of Darkness, in a beautiful new omnibus edition, Avaryan Resplendent. The descendents of the Sunborn rule both ancient empires of Avaryan-Endros and Asanion-by blood and conquest. They are strong mages, but the power of the Kasar, sign of their descent from the Sun God himself, gives them magical strength beyond any others. The Emperor Estarion and his children are the protagonists of these three novels, which explore Tarr's fascinating world, and the romance and intrigue that is unique to an empire ruled by magic.
