The first book in the Darkwar series, from world-wide bestselling writer of Magician, Raymond E. Feist.

The Conclave of Shadows, the undercover organisation charged with the protection of Midkemia, possess problems: the evil magician Leso Varen is still most importantly and thousands of portals to a parallel dimension inhabited from the cruel and fiendish Dasati, have already been found out in Novindus.

Leso Varen, a robust and malign magician with the energy to obtain and transport himself about Air travel of the night time Hawks from body to body, and his Nighthawk assassins are plotting chaos and annihilation in the royal house of Kesh. The Nameless You are awakening and needs Varen to greatly help him re-emerge totally and tip the balance of good and wicked in the globe, plunging Midkemia into darkness and mess up.

But when the Conclave attempt to warn the Emperor, it becomes clear that many of the truebloods – nobles related by birth towards the Emperor – are already Varen’s slaves, both willing and unwitting, and the Conclave are forced into a race against time to save Great Kesh before bad engulfs the land.

Flight of the Night Hawks begins a whole new series from your master of dream, set on a grand level; revisiting the unique political-intrigue of Great Kesh (touched upon in the traditional Riftwar books), and having the reader into a dark underworld of criminal offense and dark magic.
