The sequel to the bestselling THE STORMCALLER After the shattering
events of THE STORMCALLER, the eyes of the Land are on the minor
city of Scree, which could soon be obliterated as the new Lord of
the Farlan plots his revenge against Scree's rulers. Suffering
under an unnatural summer drought and surrounded by volatile
mercenary armies that may be its only salvation, the city is a
strange sanctuary for a fugitive abbot to flee to, but he is only
the first of many to be drawn there. Kings and princes, lords and
monsters; all walk the sun-scorched streets while the evenings
witness the performance of cruel and subversive plays that work
their way into the hearts of the audience. Elite soldiers clash
after dark and the city begins to tear itself apart as the sanity
of its citizens crumbles, yet even chaos can be scripted. There is
a malevolent will at work in Scree and one that has a lesson for
the entire Land; nations can be manipulated, prophecies perverted,
and Gods denied. Nothing lies beyond the reach of a shadow, and no
matter how great a man's power, there some things he cannot be
protected from.
