Fresh from their victory over the evil Ja'al cult in Whitehorse Peak, Dar Cabot and his friends set out to unravel the meaning of the mysterious prophecy of the Song of the Grey Riders, a poem that predicts heroism, calamity, and a clash of Darkness and Light - One Dark Rider fighting Seven of Grey.

Review Quotes

"...a real treasure ... Think Dungeons and Dragons or Tolkien, throw in a dash of Patrick Rothfus ... add a quest for vengeance and sinister undead sorcerers, and stir... it takes a skilled hand ... to draw all the facets of special interest into a logical, yet unexpected conclusion. Badzey is such a hand and Eye of Truth is such an achievement, recommended for any reader who enjoys... high fantasy spiced with a bit of mystery." - D. Donovan, e-book reviewer, Midwest Book Review.
