The climax of the Omaran tetralogy sees redeemed Deliverer Simon Wargallow lead a small band to defeat the sorceror Anakhizer before he can destroy the world.
So far so epic-fantasy-by-the-numbers. But this is no Tolkien clone. Cole was doing Grimdark fantasy long before there was any Grimdark fantasy and this still stands amongst one of the best final books in a fantasy series.
Despite any summary of the story sounding very cliched, it is anything but. The characters must dig deep to survive, the danger growing as they get closer to their goal.
If you want an epic fantasy that still feels refreshingly different, you can't do better.
