Description

The earth trembles beneath the feet of an ancient city's inhabitants. Yet, at the Emperor's Palace, feasting continues unabated. As omens multiply, the High Priest insists that the gods' favour can be bought with gold and ritual sacrifice. Only one person sees what is coming: a fearless, ageless Augur who was once the power behind the throne. She gathers an unlikely resistance around her, including two young acolytes from distant lands, a truth-seeking son of the High Priest, and a pain-wracked exile raising his family far from the Palace he once knew. This is a tour-de-force of imagination and literary craft from a rising star in the world of literature. The setting may be ancient, but its conflicts, fears, and hopes are universal.
