'Sorne, the estranged son of a King on the verge of madness, is being raised as a weapon to wield against the mystical Wyrds. Half a continent away, his father is planning to lay siege to the Celestial City, the home of the T En, whose wyrd blood the mundane population have come to despise. Within the City, Imoshen, the only mystic to be raised by men, is desperately trying to hold her people together. A generations long feud between the men of the Brotherhoods and the women of the sacred Sisterhoods is about to come to a head. With war without and war within, can an entire race survive the hatred of a nation?' (Publisher's blurb)

Notes

  • Epigraph:

    The seeds of every conflict are planted in the past, and so it was in the last days of the Late Golden Age of my people. When the war started, no one knew all the facts, and not one person was properly prepared, least of all me.

    Taken from Imoshen's Private Journal
