Book description
After his pyrrhic victory at Moorview, King Emin learns the truth about
the child Ruhen - but he is powerless to act. Instead, he must mourn his
dead friends while his enemy promises the beleaguered peoples of the
Land a new age of peace. The past year has taken a grave toll: the
remaining Menin troops seek revenge upon Emin, daemons freely walk the
Land, and Ruhen's power is increasing daily.
And yet, a glimmer of hope remains. There is one final, desperate
chance for victory: a weapon, so terrible only a dead man could wield
it, and only a madman would try. But if they do not grasp this
opportunity, King Emin and his allies will be obliterated as Ruhen's
millennia-old plans are about to bear terrible fruit. If his power
continues unchecked, Ruhen will achieve total dominion - and not just
over mankind, but over the Gods themselves.
One way or another, the future of the Land will be decided now -
written in the blood of men. Tom Lloyd is contracts manager for a
major London literary agency. He lives in Oxford.
