The acclaimed writers of The Map of Moments and The Secret Journeys of Jack port London join creative forces once more in this epic standalone book - a thrilling dark dream of gods and mortals, fools and heroes, saviors and destroyers, with an excellent beam of anticipation at its key - which should more than appeal to listeners of N. K. Jemisin and Brandon Sanderson. In the fantastic kingdom of Quandis, everyone is a slave. Some are slaves to the gods. The majority are slaves to everybody else. Blessed by the gods with lives of comfort and splendor, the royal elite routinely perform their tasks, yet some chafe at their role. A young female of stunning ambition, Princess Phela refuses to allow a few road blocks - including her mother, the queen, and her brother, the heir visible - stand in the form of claiming ultimate power and glory for herself. Much below the royals are the Bajuman. Poor and oppressed, associates of the wretched caste have but two pathways out of servitude: the priesthood...or death. Because magic has been placed at bay in Quandis, royals and Bajuman have lived together in an uneasy peace for years and years. But Princess Phela's desire for power will disrupt the realm's order, arranging into motion some incidents that will end with her learning to be a goddess in her own right...or ultimately destroying Quandis and all its inhabitants.
