Harsh Retribution. Book 1. Shadow in the Summer. Betrayal in the Winter
19.99 €
The first two novels in a tetralogy about a unique fantasy world whose survival depends on magic, and magic is incredibly connected to poetry. From the co-author of the epic space opera The Expanse and a participant in the multi-author project Game of Thrones.
A Shadow in Summer
City-states have grown over the ruins of a once-mighty Empire. Saraiket is a bastion of peace and culture, an influential political and commercial center. Its economy depends on the mysterious magic of an enslaved spirit-andat named Seedless, embodied in a human body by the poet-wizard Heshay. The Galts, the neighbors of the Saraiketians and their implacable enemies, are well aware of this. Until now, Saraiket has successfully repelled the barbarian invasions of the Galts, but now they see a chance for victory: they just need to secretly arrange circumstances so that the Seedless One receives the coveted freedom...
Betrayal in the Middle of Winter
When the life of the hai, the ruler of the city of Mati, expires, a cruel tradition orders his sons to enter into a merciless struggle for the throne. Only one will remain alive - and the people will not consider any means of fratricide immoral. However, this time something unprecedented happens - all the legal claimants to power die. Suspicion falls on the hai's sixth son, a voluntary renegade who has long lived in a foreign land. Recently, he returned incognito to his hometown - for what else, if not to acquire a bloody inheritance?
