Publisher Description
Margaret Weis and co-author Robert Krammes bring the enthralling Dragon Brigade trilogy to a thrilling conclusion in The Seven Sigil, a sweeping novel of worldwide war and personal redemption.
Five hundred years ago, a clan of rebels was banished to the bottom of the enchanted world of Aeronne; ever since, these Bottom Dwellers have sought revenge, and now they are waging all-out war on the rest of humanity. Their deadly "contramagic" beams destroy buildings and attack naval airships, and their demonic drumming brings terrible storms and disrupts the magic of the people and dragons Above. The attack of their full contramagic power will create a magical armageddon.
In an effort to prevent further death, Captain Stephano de Guichen leads the Dragon Brigade, taking the fight to the Bottom. But strength of arms alone will not be enough to conquer their foe.
As the Bottom Dwellers' blood magic eats away at the world, those Above realize their only possible defense lies in the heretical secrets of contramagic. Loyal priests must decide whether to protect the Church, or risk its destruction in pursuit of the truth.
Only the Dragon Brigade can prevent an endless dark age. Their epic battle will test the mettle of those thrown into the breach, and determine the fate of this magical world.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Weis and Krammes wind up their Dragon Brigade high fantasy trilogy (after Shadow Raiders and Storm Riders) with this inflated YA-style concluding clash of good versus evil in a complicated sociopolitical setting. Former Dragon Brigade leader Stephano de Guichen and Sir Henry Wallace, representing their warring nations of Rosia and Freya respectively and each supported by a rich cast of colorful characters, reluctantly agree that their countries must unite against a common threat, the Bottom Dwellers. Thrust into the depths of the planet five centuries earlier by misguided and malignant religious forces, the Bottom Dwellers are driven by fanatical leaders, who use fearful contramagic reinforced by "blood magic" of torture and human sacrifice, to invade Rosia and Freya. This hefty excursion into a complex world of spymasters, derring-do captains, sorceresses, maturing heroes and heroines, and benevolent and sinister monks and nuns often reads like a hasty transcript of an interminably breathless role-playing game, but it fitfully comes to life with the help of enormous dragons, who provide an engaging extra dimension to this predictable would-be epic.
