Fantasy
Gods meddle in the fates of men, men play with the fates
of gods, and a pretender must be cast down from the throne
in this breathtaking first fantasy novel from Ann Leckie,
New York Times bestselling author and winner of the
Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Awards.
For
centuries, the kingdom of Iraden has been protected by the
god known as the Raven. He watches over his territory from
atop a tower in the powerful port of Vastai. His will is
enacted through the Raven's Lease, a human ruler chosen by
the god himself. His magic is sustained via the blood
sacrifice that every Lease must offer. And under the
Raven's watch, the city flourishes.
But the power of
the Raven is weakening. A usurper has claimed the throne.
The kingdom borders are tested by invaders who long for the
prosperity that Vastai boasts. And they have made their own
alliances with other gods.
It is into this unrest
that the warrior Eolo--aide to Mawat, the true
Lease--arrives. And in seeking to help Mawat reclaim his
city, Eolo discovers that the Raven's Tower holds a secret.
Its foundations conceal a dark history that has been waiting
to reveal itself...and to set in motion a chain of events
that could destroy Iraden forever.
