Description: Epic, multi-threaded fantasy with a cyberpunk rationality. Second of a two-book series.
Synopsis:
Fleeing the Messenger's followers, Roween and Conley make for the calm but addled Lowlands. There, they hope to find allies; there, they hope not to be found...
Behind them, the magic-rich armies of Justan march ever onward, smashing all opposition as an empire is born. Even so, rumours speak of yet darker magics: of plagues, of revolution, of armies of the dead made living; of the means to immortality. If Justan fell, his replacement could be far, far worse. Where do the loyalties of Lord Sennary lie - with his king or with his quarry?
All portents point to the strange and disturbing land of Elet, where a population of sinister millions is preparing for war; where Roween must, must go.
Can she destroy magic before magic destroys the world?
