Author’s Note AUTHOR’S NOTE Despite what you may have heard or read elsewhere, The Shadow Isle is not the last book in the Deverry sequence. It is, however, the beginning of the end, Part I of the last Deverry book, as it were. The true end will be published soon as The Silver Mage , also from HarperCollins.

Prologue: In a Far Country PROLOGUE In a Far Country You say that the three Mothers of All Roads run tangled beyond your power to map them. Why then would you ask to travel the seven Rivers of Time? Their braiding lies beyond even the understanding of the Great Ones, so be ye warned and stay safely upon their banks. The Secret Book of Cadwallon the Druid

Part I: The Westlands Spring, 1160 PART I The Westlands Spring, 1160 Some say that the ancient mages of the Seven Cities, those long dead fortresses of beauty and magic, left a record of their secret work not in words or images but in stones and earth. Yet I for one call such a foolish tale, because I see not how it may be possible, no, not in the least. The Pseudo-Iamblichos Scroll
