Winter blankets the land, and more than just hope has died. Prevented
from invading the Fhrey homeland by the tower of Avempartha, the western
army seeks a way across the Nidwalden River before the fane obtains the
secret of dragons. As time runs out for both humanity and the mystic
Suri, the only chance for the living rests with the dead. Having made
their fateful choice, can a handful of misfits do the impossible, or are
they forever lost to an inescapable grave? Do gods truly exist? Is it
possible to know the future? And what lies beyond the veil of death?
In the tradition of Virgil's Aeneid, Dante's Divine Comedy, and
Milton's Paradise Lost, the most epic of tales transcend the world of
the living. It's time to see what lies in Elan's Age of Death.
From Michael J. Sullivan (New York Times, USA Today, and Washington
Post best-selling author), comes the second to the last installment in
the epic fantasy series, Legends of the First Empire. The series
chronicles a pivotal point in Elan's history when humans rise against
the Fhrey who they once saw as gods. Set 3,000 years before the Riyria
tales, Legends is a stand-alone fantasy series which is independent of
all other Elan stories. That said, if you do listen to the other books,
you'll see lies revealed and the truth about historical figures
unmasked.
