Description
Our heroes have arrived at the desert city of Rhabat, where they will be guests of the Sharai leader, Hasan. Whether they will be safe there is another matter. Morakh, the leader of the Sand Dancers, is still on the lose. And then there is the matter of what the ‘Ifrit are up to in the Dead Waters.
Marron may be coming to terms with becoming the legendary Ghost Walker, but many Sharai are still resentful of a Patric having that honour. Meanwhile Marron still has his relationship with Jemel to sort out. As for Julianne, she has to decide what to do about Hasan’s offer of marriage, given that in theory she is married already.
Praise for the Outremer series
“Along the way there are all the adventures a discerning fantasy reader could wish for and Brenchley’s concise, muscular prose makes the story flow, free of genre clichés” — SFX
“Brenchley’s grasp of his colourful narrative never falters, and his descriptive powers are exemplary.” — Orbit
“Chaz Brenchley’s striking new epic fantasy series [is] a revelation. The atmosphere is so well described you can almost taste it.” — Starburst
“Brenchley the horror novelist and Brenchley the fantasist come together in perfect alignment…the kind of dark, painful power rarely seen in the literature of heroic fantasy.” — Cemetery Dance
“If you like slow tension and intrigue and well-developed world-building, this is recommended. Brenchley’s prose is crisp and descriptive and his characterizations are nicely done. The last quarter of the book finally cuts loose and the ending left me wanting to see what will happen next” — Sigma
“Brenchley has created a fascinating alternate-world version of the Crusader kingdom and has set up a bunch of interesting plot strands. The addition of Arabian Nights-style magic is a very clever touch that promises much to come.” — Emerald City
“As with all Brenchley’s novels, the prose is beautifully crafted and a joy to read…I can’t wait to see what happens next.” — Northern Review
“Compelling reading” — Locus
