Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
Robert Silverberg's bestselling Majipoor Cycle, set on the most magnificent and exotic world ever invented, has long been considered one of the jewels of modern fantasy. Lord Prestimion is set a thousand years before the time of Lord Valentine, in a timeof ancient mysteries and new wonders.

Prince Prestimion has at last become Coronal Lord Prestimion. Though he should have succeeded automatically to the title, Korsivar, the son of the last Coronal, claimed it and thereby plunged the nation into war. Prestimion's first act as Coronal is to summon a vast magical spell that obliterates across the land all memory of the civil war. Korsivar was killed in battle and now memory of his existence is totally erased . . . even his father, who has become Pontifex, has no memory of the son he sired and raised. Only Prestimion himself and a handful of trusted associates have knowledge of the catastrophic civil war.

But a scar so vivid on the face of the land is not so readily wiped out. Mass psychosis threatens the new peace, and Prestimion must fmd a way to deal with this threat, as deadly as the forgotten war itself. But the last thing Prestimion can contemplate is further use of sorcery to set the matter right. From Labyrinth to Casde Mount, from Isle of Sleep to Desert of Stolen Dreams, a plague of madness sweeps the land. Prestimion's quest for a cure takes him to the most extraordinary territories on all Majipoor, and brings him tace to face with old enemies, new delusions and forgotten powers.
