Hanover, Abraham is the author of the Black Sun's Daughter urban fantasy series. 'A poignant human tale of power, heartbreak and betrayal'– George R. Victory will depend on bravery, good fortune and who is willing to pay the long price. And two men, bound to each other by an act of kindness and an act of brutality, may be all that stands between the civilised world and war. The lowly will be raised up, the mighty will fall and innocents will be slaughtered. Alliances will be broken and friends betrayed. Slowly, carefully, strategies are being set in place, plans that could lead to the fall of the Khaiem – or to horrors unimaginable.Ĭonflict is brewing in the world. But there is more to conquest than siege engines and armies. There are great riches to be had in the Summer and Winter Cities, and only the threat of the andat unleashed holds the enemies of the Khaiem in check. There are those in the world, however, who envy such wealth. Thanks to these men – part sorcerers, part scholars – the great city-states of the Khaiem enjoy wealth and power beyond measure, and the greatest of them all is Saraykeht: glittering jewel of the Summer Cities. Most will fail, some will die, but the reward for the dedicated few is great: mastery of the andat, and the rank of Poet. In a remote mountain academy, the politically expendable younger sons of the Great Houses study for an extraordinary task.
