Please help me find this book if you can. I read this book in the early 90s, but I don't think it was new at that time as it came from a library specializing in SF/F (University of New Brunswick Saint John).

Not sure if it was a series or a standalone, but it featured a Tolkien style fantasy setting where the armies of evil were threatening a kingdom. The monsters had some kind of vulnerability to the sun which I believe was referred to as "the ban" in the novel. I think the sun would actually destroy them, but I wouldn't swear to it. Again, I am not sure, but the monsters may have been a collection of goblins, orcs, etc.

Denis Mckienans Iron Tower Trilogy was published in the mid 1980's . I think it up to 14 books now ? Good writer. His original int was to do a continuation of LOTR but he couldn't get permission.

Yes that's it! As soon I searched "Iron Tower" and "The Dark Tide" came up I remembered it. Thank you very much, I'm going to have to check those out again because I remember really enjoying them.
