About This Book
Anavatan, the City of the Gods, rests on the shore of shining GolBeyaz, the Silver Lake. The city, and its outlying villages are surrounded by the God-Wall, a magical barrier that protects all who dwell here from both the nomadic human invaders that attack each year, and the hungry spirits which are drawn to the living energies of the Silver Lake yet can't break through the spell wall to claim this life force for themselves. It is here in the heart of Gol-Beyaz that, long ago, the Gods were born—the six Immortal Patrons of Anavatan, and of most who dwell within the city.
The three children of prophecy—the seers Spar and Graize, and the warrior Brax—are all grown now and each has come into his full power.
And with the young God Hisar ready to stake his claim to a place in the pantheon of Anavatan, a long-prophesied time of chaos and change is fast approaching. Sworn enemies, Spar and Graize both had a part in Hisar's creation and his growth. If they can overcome their mutual hatred and distrust, perhaps together they can help the young God to survive the coming battles with both the hungry spirits seeking to devour him and the mortal invasion fleet which is even now sailing for Anavatan.
Brax, the sworn champion of the Goddess Estavia, may be forced to do the unthinkable, and divide his allegiance to the Gods, a course of action which could not only destroy the young warrior himself but which might disastrously shift the balance of power—and lead to the downfall of the Shining City....
