Book description
Beset by false friends and the weight of a world's expectations, Nish
flees his father, the God-Emperor - always searching for the means to
orchestrate his downfall. Nish's reluctant allies are Maelys, who
believes he betrayed her family; former scrutator Xervish Flydd, now
stripped of power; and Colm, whom Nish owes a favour he can never repay.
If their fragile partnership survives, they may have a chance to save
themselves, and their land. The group must find a hidden tower in a
barren arctic wilderness, and somehow convince the dread Numinator, who
despises all humanity, to come to their aid. And what of the different
futures projected in the Pit of Possibilities? Can they, and should
they, trust its portents? They have nothing to lose but their hope - a
frail weapon in a war upon a god. Ian Irvine lives in the mountains of
NSW, Australia.
