Victor Kelleher's masterful portrayal of the conflict caused by the greed for power. Derin's journey to find his father, the twists and turns in his quest, little realising that he was being manipulated by the "good" side to help destroy the evil that has taken over his world. Extremely well written, and engaging from the get-go - as are all his works. (
