Synopsis
Visit a world where sorcery intertwines with science by multiple Hugo nominee Adrian Tchaikovsky in this highly-anticipated sequel to his hugely popular Elder Race. On a planet where stories govern identity, where science and magic are a merely point of view, a fallen princess, a reluctant wizard, and a precocious child must unravel the past to shape the future. Betrayal, ancient myths, and the clash of worlds converge in this spellbinding tale of courage, friendship, and self-discovery. A profound exploration of identity, memory, and discovery from one of science fiction’s most compelling voices. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
