Nothing compares to the Antasy Saga, a highly original series set in
a distant future where humans have evolved to the size of insects and
intertwined with their world. Book One, Prophets of the Ghost Ants,
was named a Best of the Year by Kirkus Reviews and was followed by
Prophet of the Termite God.**
The final chapter of the trilogy, The Ghost Ants of Grylladesh,
continues the story of an empire in ruins, vicious and mysterious
usurpers, and a young man who would lead his people from hopeless
squalor to a stable utopia.
In the Barley Lands to the East, the deformed and demented Emperor
Volokop has blinded the hero Anand and sent him to Dranveria with a
message for its rulers. But when Anand is captured by a mysterious
people, the fate of his family and his new nation of Bee-Jor is suddenly
in jeopardy.
Because Bee-Jor remains in chaos. In the South, starving refugees from
Hulkren have overwhelmed Mound Palzhad and segregated into warring camps
to fight for their very survival ... with some descending into
cannibalism. Beyond them, the roach riders of The Promised Clearing
threaten a new conflict in a quest for more land. And in the West, a new
peril arises from the Velvet Ant League, one not seen in a thousand
generations.
Aiding all of these enemies is the deluded Queen Trellana, who has
gathered the royal women of the East to march out of Bee-Jor and leave
it vulnerable to attack.
The founding of Bee-Jor was Anand's dream of a perfect society, but
without their leader, is that all it ever will be: a dream?
