Book description
Nish and his remaining allies are trapped on the Range of Ruin,
surrounded by the relentless army of his father, the God-Emperor. And
Nish's choices seem limited: a humiliating surrender, or a suicidal
fight to the death. Yet Nish must fight, and win, as he's needed to
counter an unprecedented threat facing the whole of Santhenar. The
danger is Stilkeen, a shape-shifting being, who has erupted from the
void consumed by a need for retribution. Its chthonic power was stolen
in ages past - and Stilkeen wants it back. But the chthonic fire
Stilkeen sensed has now escaped to run wild through Santhenar's
Antarctic territories. Even if Nish defeats his father, there may be no
way to stop the fire, or Stilkeen, before everything is consumed. Ian
Irvine lives in the mountains of NSW, Australia.
