Supreme Commander Lord Tanaros was once human. But he chose
darkness and immortality when his wife betrayed him with
his king. He killed them both, and fled the realms of Men
and now cares nothing for their fates.
A thousand years passed. His only allegiance is to his
master, the dark god Satoris, who gave the gift of Life to
the race of Men. Satoris, who rebelled against his elder
brother God Haomane who had demanded that gift be taken
away. Their fight cracked the very world in two; the name
of Satoris became the word for evil throughout all the
races, while the legend of Tanaros is the seminal tale of
treachery.
And yet not all tales told are true.
A final prophecy has begun to unfold, and the races are
uniting in their quest to rid the world of Satoris. The
elder gods and goddesses, stranded on the other side of the
world, send dreams to spur all to destroy Satoris and
Tanaros, but those loyal to their god know a different side
of the story and try to defend their citadel of Darkhaven,
where Satoris sits in sorrow, controlling his own dominion,
seeking neither victory nor vengeance.
Satoris's followers capture the beautiful Elvish princess
Cerelinde, and without her the Allies cannot fulfill the
prophecy. All who support Satoris clamor for her death-but
Satoris refuses to act like the monster that he is made out
to be, for he recognizes in Cerelinde a spark of the love
that he once bore for his fellow gods.
She is a great danger to Satoris--and a greater danger for
Tanaros and all that he holds dear. For she reminds him
that not all women need be false... and that though he may
be immune to death, his heart is still very muchmortal.
Strong storytelling with evocative, compelling, and
unforgettable characters, Godslayer is the thrilling
conclusion to the events begun in Banewreaker, a haunting
tale of love and loss that ultimately asks the question: If
all that is considered good considers you evil, are you?
