M. Weis, T. Hickman / Paperback / Jan 1989
Here is the epic tale of the Great War of the Gods -- and the proud people upon whom the fate of the world depends. When the God of the desert, Akhran the Wanderer, declares that two clans must band together despite their centuries-old rivalry, their first response is outrage. But they are a devout people and so reluctantly bow to his bidding.
Enemies from birth, the headstrong Prince Khardan and impetuous Princess Zohra must unite in marriage to stop Quar, the God of Reality, Greed, and Law, from enslaving their people.
But can Khardan and Zohra keep from betraying each other? Can their two peoples maintain their fragile alliance until the long-awaited flowering of the legendary Rose of the Prophet?
Against the powerful legions of the evil Amir, Khardan and Zohra fight to save the desert people -- a fight unexpectedly joined by an exiled wizard named Mathew and the mysterious powers of his alien land.

M. Weis, T. Hickman / Paperback / May 1989
The Great War of the Gods means nothing to the proud people on the mortal plane -- until Akhran the Wandering God decrees the union of two mighty feuding clans. Though the families are fierce warriors, they are few in number. Even the marriage of Khardan and Zohra is not enough to overpower the strength of the invading army or prevent the imprisonment of their peoples.
Now, with Khardan and Zohra mysteriously missing -- seeming cowards who hid from certain defeat -- the two clans have lost all hope of ever again seeing their beloved opened skies.
But Prince Khardan and Princess Zohra, aided by the wizard Mathew, have been given another mission ... a mission that at first seems less useful than counting the many grains of the desert sands, but soon proves to be of far more lasting importance.

M. Weis, T. Hickman / Paperback / Sep 1989
As the Great War of the Gods rages, it seems as though the terrible Quar, God of Reality, Green, and Law, will emerge the victor. Even the immortals have abandoned their mortal masters to join in the battle above.
Trapped without their immortal servants on the shore of the Kurdin Sea, Khardan, Zohra, and the wizard Mathew must cross the vast desert known as the Sun's Anvil -- a feat no man has ever performed.
Like the legendary Rose of the Prophet, the nomads struggle to survive the journey. If they succeed, they will face more than combat with the enemy, for the Amir's hardened warriors are led by Achmed, the fiercest of men ... and Khardan's brother.
