The books portray a conflict between light and dark, with many of the common conventions of fantasy fiction. The world and many of the characters of the novels are similar to those found in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, as Carey presents a similar story as a tragedy told from the "dark" side's perspective. Though one side can be considered light, consisting of Elf-like creatures, Men, and Dwarves, and the other dark, with an army of Trolls, neither can be considered solely "good" or "evil". NovelsThe Sundering consists of the following novels (with release dates). This is also the chronological order within the story.
BackgroundThe events of the novels are a continuation of the Shaper's War.[3] The Shapers are the gods of this world. The world is the body of the first being, Uru-Alat, who had a mystic jewel in his forehead. After Uru-Alat's death, the Shapers sprang from his body. Each shaper coming from a different part (Head, heart, etc.) Haomane, who came first and from the head, is the god of thought; he claimed leadership of the Shapers. Out of love for Arahila, Satoris refused Haomane's command to remove his gift (reproduction) from the race Arahila created (mankind) This led to a fight between Haomane and Satoris, during which the mystic jewel shattered and the world was sundered in two. The largest shard of the jewel was like a sword and was named God Slayer. Oronin Last-Born stabbed Satoris in the leg with God Slayer, but the wound was only crippling, not mortal. Satoris seized God Slayer and fled the realm of the Gods to the newly isolated realm of mortals. Haomane, afraid to follow himself for fear of the sword, sent agents to the mortal lands in order to recover God Slayer; he provided his agents with tiny fragments of the mystic jewel. Over the years, Satoris has established himself in his citadel of Darkhaven, with his own agents and allies (Trolls, werewolves and certain human kingdoms). Only one of Haomane's agents remain, leading the rest of the mortal world against Satoris (Elves and most human kingdoms) At the time of the story, Haomane's remaining agent, Malthus, is trying to bring about a prophecy that foretells the downfall of Satoris, primarily through a youth named Dani. Satoris's men work to prevent the prophecy's fulfillment. The Shapers
