When True Night Falls - C. S. Friedman

Very highly recommended by Science Fiction Review, this second book in the Coldfire trilogy follows Black Sun Rising. A high-action novel of discovery and battle on a planet where a magical force of nature has the power to prey upon the human mind. A warrior priest and a sorcerer--absolute enemies--must unite to conquer this growing evil. Blending science fiction and fantasy, the second book of the Coldfire Trilogy continues a dark tale of an alien world where nightmares are made manifest. Two men, absolute enemies, must unite to conquer an evil greater than anything their world has ever known. One is a warrior priest ready to sacrifice anything and everything for the cause of humanity's progress; the other, a sorcerer who has survived for countless centuries by a total submission to evil. In their joint quest, both will be irrevocably changed. When True Night Falls is the sequel to C. S. Friedman's acclaimed Black Sun Rising .
