Renegade sorcerer Raythe Vyre went off the edge of the map, seeking riches and redemption . . . but he has found the impossible: a vanished civilisation - and the threat of eternal damnation!
Chasing a dream of wealth and freedom, Raythe Vyre's ragtag caravan of refugees from imperial oppression went off the map, into the frozen wastes of the north. What they found there was beyond all their expectations: Rath Argentium, the legendary city of the long-vanished Aldar, complete with its fabled floating citadel.
Even more unexpectedly, they encountered the Tangato, the remnants of the people who served the Aldar, who are shocked to learn that they're not alone in the world - and hostile to Raythe's interlopers.
What awaits Raythe's people in the haunted castle that floats above them, the lair of the last Aldar King? Everlasting wealth - or eternal damnation?
The
internal and external politics within the book lead to a lot of infighting intention that
has the book ticking along nicely, but
there is more. The mystery of Rath Argentium also unfolds above them and there are some
great action set pieces. The
twists and turns within the camp means that the ally you had one day is gone the next. There is time to allow
the story to breathe and for the
characters to develop. The final act sets up
a very intriguing Book 3 B-Format Paperback
