Tond, Book Three: The Journey Northward

Having learned the origin of the monster Gaeshug-Tairánda, Rolan now continues his adventure. He teams up with people from other parts of Tond who have their own interests in the quest:
Tayon, the loremaster who had made the fateful decision that had facilitated the monster's creation and now wants to learn how to fight it;
Ai-Leena, Queen of the Tower of Dawn, placed on the throne in a coup by Tayon in an attempt to right the wrongs done in the Imperium but there are those who do not wish her rule to continue;
S'Tam, Lord of Arsh in the Emb Lands, at first seeking vengeance for the death of a family member, then learning the power of the Sword of Law;
Nammar, the mysterious Taennishmen, sent to help Tayon but now seemingly abandoned by the very power that sent him.
Along the way, they encounter grosks, gruntags, a hate-filled mob, a many-tentacled fire creature, strange music that turns "enemy tones" into friends; and they make a soul-altering journey into the world of the Taennishmen.
And, gradually, they uncover Gaeshug-Tairánda's dreadful secret a secret that could mean a bitter and sudden end to the world of Tond.
