โฆ Synopsis
Shortlisted for the 2014 Gemmell Morningstar AwardยBest Debut Novel
An uneasy peace has existed since the fall of the Awakened Empire centuries ago. Now the hybrid Avฤn share the land with the people they once conquered: the star-born humans; the spectral, undead Nomads; and what remains of the Elemental Masters.
With the Empress-in-Shadows an estranged ghost, it is the ancient dynasties of the Great Houses and the Hundred Families that rule. But now civil war threatens to draw all of Shrฤซan into a vicious struggle sparked by one manโs lust for power, and his drive to cheat death.
Visions have foretold that Corajidin, dying ruler of House Erebus, will not only survive, but rise to rule his people. The wily nobleman seeks to make his destiny certainยby plundering the ruins of his civilizationโs past for the arcane science needed to ensure his survival, and by mercilessly eliminating his rivals. But mercenary warrior-mage Indris, scion of the rival House Nรคsarat, stands most powerfully in the usurperโs bloody path. For it is Indris who reluctantly accepts the task of finding a missing man, the only one able to steer the teetering nation towards peace.
