Plot summary

Mortalis tells of Pony's life after the war: her fight against the crushing grief of her husband Elbryan's death and her fight to stop a plague infecting the people of the kingdom. At the same time, the characters of Aydrian Wyndon, Elbryan's and Pony's child, and Brynn Dharielle, a To-Gai girl turned ranger, are introduced to the story.

Background

This book was written while the author's older brother and closest friend, Gary, was dying of pancreatic cancer. He finally passed within months of the publishing of this book in 2000. He considers this book his finest work in large part to the grieving process he suffered through which mirrored a similar aspect of the book in which the previous hero of the story, Elbryan Wyndon, is killed.[1]

gollark: Bold of you to assume I ever need that.
gollark: I have to admit Markdown's lists are pretty evil. So perhaps I should... develop my own Markdown-inspired but subtly incompatible version.
gollark: What would be the benefit of that?
gollark: TeX sounds kind of overkill. I mostly just need... headings, and lists.
