Zamul and Katak hope to find Gom, kill him and take a special stone, a rune, which his mother left him. Harga only gives Gom one clue, a riddle, and when he solves it, he meets Harga.

This review is from: Riddle and the Rune, The (Tales of Gom in the Legends of Ulm, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Alone now that his father the elderly Stig has died, Gom of Windy Mountain set's out from that lonely home, leaving all he has known behind him, to find his mother Harga. With nothing more than a black stone (left with him by his mother) a stick carved by his father to resemble the creatures of the forest, and the magical ability to speak with animals. Huddled one night in a cave long forgotten by a bear, he is visited through a creature carved on his staff, by his mother's voice. She gives him a riddle telling young Gom that when he answers it he shall find her. Gom encounter's a multitude of friendly people and creatures, but with every good there is a greater evil which manifest's itself through people and monsters. A Death's Head bird stalk's him for his stone, a village conjurer also for the same item. Leaving Gom to puzzle, just who is his mother? From the creator of the chime's of Alyafalen, and Jason's Magical Midnight Ride Through Time, Grace Chetwin, comes the second book in the tale's of Gom filled with magic, mystery and wonder enough to please even the most hard core fantasy buff. I give this book a 5 and encourage you to read it. (It also doesn't hurt that the writer is EXTREMLY nice and replied to my letter concerning the book unlike a certain Ms. Marion Zimmer Bradly.)
