I read this when I was about 13-14 in the mid nineties.
The story is about a kingdom under threat by an evil sorcerer or something who commands an army of Night beasts. The king of this land has a cloak of diamonds given to him by a Gandalf type wizard who wears a rainbow cloak himself. The king is deathly afraid of the dark and has a penchant for melting people he doesn’t like in the wax from the thousands of candles he surrounds himself with.
The protagonist is a young man who learns to fence from a legendary swordsman who himself squared off against the dark sorcerer but had his eardrums and balance shattered in the conflict.
At the end of the story supporting characters discover a moss covered hill that’s actually an earth mound covered in bones. They clean off the moss, shine up the bones and make their last stand on the hill.
Thanks everyone!
I am Caucasian, naturally blonde but dye hair and brows dark brown. I have lots of little blond hairs on my brow bone from my brow line to my eye lid and have waxed (isn’t thorough), shaved and tweezed (too painful) to try to rid myself of these creepers but I can’t seem to get all of them. I sometimes use those cheap brow shavers to get them, and that works fine but they only appear to last for one use before they are dull. I was thinking of working with an epilator. Anyone have tips on how to clean up my brow bone and efficiently get rid of hair?
