The Sundering is a series of two fantasy novels by Jacqueline Carey made up of Banewreaker, and Godslayer.
Oronin Last-Born stabbed Satoris in the leg with God Slayer, but the wound was only crippling, not mortal.
Over the years, Satoris has established himself in his citadel of Darkhaven, with his own agents and allies (trolls, weres 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.
