Book description
It is the beginning of the end . . .
The end of the axe-age, the sword-age, leading to the passing of gods
and men from the universe.
As all the ancient prophecies fall into place, the final battle rages,
on Earth, across Faerie, and into the land of the dead.
Jack Churchill, Champion of Existence, must lead the Brothers and
Sisters of Dragons in a last, desperate assault on the Fortress of the
Enemy, to confront the ultimate incarnation of destruction: the Burning
Man. It is humanity's only chance to avert the coming extinction.
At his back is an army of gods culled from the world's great
mythologies - Greek, Norse, Chinese, Aztec, and more. But will even that
be enough?
Driven to the brink by betrayal, sacrifice and death, his allies fear
Jack may instead bring about the very devastation he is trying to
prevent . . . Mark Chadbourn was raised in the mining communities of
South Derbyshire. He studied Economic History at Leeds before becoming a
national newspaper journalist. He is the author of several novels,
including The Age of Misrule and The Dark Age trilogies.
