The death of the fearsome Ögedei Khan has brought the Mongol invasion of
the West to an abrupt halt. Exhausted, plagued by uncertainty and
self-doubt, and reeling from betrayal by one of their own, the surviving
Shield-Brethren struggle across a frozen, shattered wasteland to return
home after their desperate battle in Mongolia.
Their mission is complete--Christendom has been saved--but new and
terrible questions haunt each member of the company: Are they heroes or
villains? Or just pawns in a larger game, trapped in a world gone mad in
the wake of the unspeakable devastation visited upon it by the Mongol
horde?
And most poignant of all, where--and what--is "home" now, and what will
be their place in the world they fought to defend?
Katabasis, a new novel in the acclaimed Foreworld Saga, follows the
survivors as they struggle to confront their own fears and decide who
they truly are--and whom they will ultimately serve.
