Fantasy | Horror
In her new role as Bethel's warden, Immanuelle struggles
to unify her people and reckon with the strange new gifts
she's wielded since the Slaughter; the community seethes
with unrest. Worse still, Immanuelle's nights are haunted
with gruesome dreams of Bethel's violent destruction.
When a band of wounded refugees from beyond the Wall
comes to Bethel seeking sanctuary, Immanuelle realises that
her nightmares of fire and blood are more than figments . .
. they're prophecies of a coming war so brutal, it will make
the horrors of the Slaughter seem tame in comparison.
Desperate to prevent these visions from becoming reality,
Immanuelle embarks on a secret mission beyond the Wall,
hoping to negotiate peace with the atheistic city-state of
Hebron before the war can begin in earnest. Her quest takes
her through war-ravaged wilds, ruined cities, and mountains
teeming with hostile tribes . . . all the way to Hebron,
where she meets two ruthless Grand Magisters - brother and
sister - who are beind this war on superstition and
mysticism.
Welcomed as a guest of the Grand Magisters' court,
Immanuelle enters a dangerous world of politics and
intrigue, where reason is prised, religion feared, and magic
is outlawed on penalty of death. But as she works to stop
the war, her powers continue to manifest, threatening to
expose her true nature to the Grand Magisters, who would see
her burned. Then negotiations fall apart, and Immanuelle
realises that the only way she can end the war is to win it.
