Produktbeschreibung

"Great for fans of: Steven Erikson, R. Scott Bakker" -BookLife Reviews "A wonderful addition to the fantasy genre. It has action, emotion, magic and a cast of characters you immediately become attached to. It felt very grounded in reality despite being from another time and place."-Judge, 30th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards "LIVELY AND SOPHISTICATED"-Kirkus Reviews "This accomplished, ambitious epic fantasy swells with fresh ideas, memorable characters" -BookLife Reviews RAW survival. Forbidden weaponry. A quest to save mankind turns into an experiment gone wrong. In the disaster-ravaged land of Theia, Lumen Hadamard walks the line. He must enforce the anti-tech treaty barring old-world devilry, lest Theia follow the same path of destruction that shattered ancient civilization. Yet, he must prepare for a pending war, one his people are not equipped to fight. Hadamard needs more than traditional weaponry at his disposal, so he ventures into the treaty's "grey areas" - dabbling in mystifying forces not known to exist when the treaty was written. But it's risky: the space-rippling striker weapons are not well understood and, if in the wrong hands, could be a recipe for disaster. Meanwhile, Hadamard's prized protégé, Vey Lancer, accepts a critical mission to Fort Abandon. Her talents of persuasion are needed to forge an alliance against a rival kingdom. But Vey has her own objectives in mind: time away from the crazed luminary with an eye towards romance involving the charming vice regent. But nothing ever goes as planned for the naïve diplomat. Her people have a long history of meddling and not everyone is happy with the way things turned out. A chance encounter with a vengeful old shaman sets Vey on a twisted path of darkness - abducted, drugged and fighting for raw survival. Will Vey's mission allow Hadamard to work the kinks out of his prototypes before it's too late? Or will it spark an all-out war between neighboring territories? A war neither side can hope to win. A dark, gritty EPIC FANTASY filled with intrigue and adventure. "Tense and dense, crafted with a shrewd awareness of what dedicated genre readers expect-and of the pleasures of upending those expectations." -BookLife Reviews
