Publisher's Summary

From the Gemmell Award-winning author of The Vagrant, a thrilling new series of power, intrigue, and magic.

The demons.

Creatures lurk in the endless forests of the Wild, plucking victims from those who scratch a living by the sides of the great Godroads, paths of crystal which provide refuge from the infernal tide.

The deathless.

Humanity’s protectors reign within crystal castles held aloft on magical currents – seven timeless royal families, born and reborn into flawless bodies. As immortal as the precious stones from which they take their names, they fight to hold the Wild at bay. For generations a fragile balance has held.

And the damned....

House Sapphire, one of the ancient Deathless families, is riven by suspicion and grief. Their hunting expeditions against the Wild are failing and entire villages have begun to disappear.

Then, when assassins strike, House Sapphire shatters.

Nothing lasts forever.

Profile Image for Mr. Eric D. Fehr

Decent work let down by narration

The narrator's voice is pleasant and clear enough, but the dialogue in the book is very hard to follow as she has one "voice" and uses it for all characters, regardless of sex etc. Very, very difficult to track who is talking in conversations that switch back and forth every sentence or two.

The story itself is decently enjoyable.
