The Tamuli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tamuli is a series of fantasy novels by David Eddings. The series consists of three volumes:

  1. Domes of Fire
  2. The Shining Ones
  3. The Hidden City

The Tamuli is the sequel to The Elenium. In this series, Sparhawk and friends travel to the Tamul Empire, far to the east. In this respect it is similar to that of The Malloreon in which the characters from The Belgariad series journey to the eastern continent in their world.

[edit] The Hidden City

Following The Shining Ones, the enemies have been identified, and the cards are dealt. Queen Ehlana, kidnapped by the forces of Cyrgon, is held captive against Sparhawk's delivering of Bhelliom. The Troll Gods, freed in the climax of The Shining Ones, along with Sparhawk and the Younger Gods set out to stop Cyrgon as a greater threat looms. Cyrgon, desperate after his defeat, unleashes Bhelliom's arch-rival, Klæl, and Sparhawk, taking on his full role as Anakha, goes to face Cyrgon in the Hidden City of the Cyrgai.
