Down Styphon! is the eighth and concluding book in the Kalvan Saga begun by the late H. Beam Piper in 1964. After
years of war against Great King Kalvan, Styphon’s House’s control over
the Five Great Kingdoms is in jeopardy. In Hos-Bletha there are two
great kings and in Hos-Agrys the Prince-Regent’s rule is threatened as
the Prince reaches his majority. In Hos-Harphax the new Great Queen is
taxing her subjects to the breaking point, while in Hos-Zygros Great
King Phidestros openly despises Styphon’s House. Only in Hos-Ktemnos is
there a stable regime, that openly supports Styphon’s House.
