The wall of time has fallen, leaving the Gods free to indulge their
hunger for violence. Few know of their escape into mortal lands – and
these few struggle against the control of the malevolent mage Husk and
with their own problems.
Queen Stella, still in hiding, must make a deal with the Undying
Man. His word is suspect, but her options are limited. Fisherman Noetos
seeks revenge for the deaths of his loved ones, not yet realising the
enemy is closer than even he can imagine. And the unconventional
cosmographer Lenares is the only one with the power to prevent the Gods
destroying the world – if she can get someone to believe her.
The queen, fisherman and cosmographer must travel to Andratan to
confront Husk. But whether they can break free of his hold on them, and
defeat the Gods, is another matter entirely.
