Book description
Isak is a white-eye, feared and despised in equal measure. Trapped in a
life of poverty, hated and abused by his father, Isak dreams of escape,
but when his chance comes, it isn't to a place in the army as he'd
expected. Instead, the Gods have marked him out as heir-elect to the
brooding Lord Bahl, the Lord of the Fahlan. Now is the time for revenge,
and the forging of empires. With mounting envy and malice the men who
would themselves be kings watch Isak, chosen by Gods as flawed as the
humans who serve them, as he is shaped and moulded to fulfil the
prophecies that are encircling him like scavenger birds. The various
factions jostle for the upper hand, and that means violence, but the
Gods have been silent too long and that violence is about to spill over
and paint the world the colour of spilled blood and guts and pain and
anguish . . . Tom Lloyd was born in 1979 and spent most of his
childhood believing his mother was a witch - a white witch. He followed
his degree in Politics and International Relations with a series of jobs
in publishing, and currently works as contracts manager for a major
literary agency in London. He lives in South London.
