In a land ruled by prophecy and the whims of Gods, a young man
finds himself at the heart of a war he barely understands, wielding
powers he may never be able to control Isak is a white-eye, feared
and despised in equal measure. Trapped in a life of poverty, hated
and abused by his father, Isak dreams of escape, but when his
chance comes, it isn't to a place in the army as he'd expected.
Instead, the Gods have marked him out as heir-elect to the brooding
Lord Bahl, the Lord of the Fahlan. Lord Bahl is also a white-eye, a
genetic rarity that produces men stronger, more savage and more
charismatic than their normal counterparts. Their magnetic charm
and brute strength both inspires and oppresses others. Now is the
time for revenge, and the forging of empires. With mounting envy
and malice, the men who would themselves be kings watch Isak,
chosen by Gods as flawed as the humans who serve them, as he is
shaped and moulded to fulfil the prophecies that are encircling him
like scavenger birds. The various factions jostle for the upper
hand, and that means violence, but the Gods have been silent too
long and that violence is about to spill over and paint the world
the colour of spilled blood and guts and pain and anguish ...
