Book Description
When the inhabitants of a peaceful world are conquered by the
bloodthirsty yumens, their existence is irrevocably altered. Forced into
servitude, the Athsheans find themselves at the mercy of their brutal
masters.
Desperation causes the Athsheans, led by Selver, to
retaliate against their captors, abandoning their strictures against
violence. But in defending their lives, they have endangered the very
foundations of their society. For every blow against the invaders is a
blow to the humanity of the Athsheans. And once the killing starts,
there is no turning back.
