The Shadow of Elysium

Zusatztext

<p><b>From the author of<i>The Thousand Names</i>,<i>The</i><i>Shadow Throne</i>, and<i>The Price of Valour</i>comes a new novella set in the world of the Shadow Campaigns.</b> The wagons travel north across the mountains, carrying cargo of great value: Hamveltai glass and porcelain; Deslandai jewelry in heavy iron strongboxes; fine cloth from the cities of the Old Coast. And Abraham. Bound and tied, guarded day and night, Abraham has been stolen from his village, from the arms of the man he loved. He is being sent to the fortress-city of Elysium to serve a dark and ancient order, the Priests of the Black. They have discovered the secret he kept all his life: that inside him dwells a demon which allows him to healand to kill. But Abraham is not alone. A young woman named Alex, similarly possessed, rides with him. And as a bond grows between them, they begin to wonder if they can turn the demons that have damned them into their salvation. <b>Also contains an extract from<i>The Thousand Names</i>, Book One of The Shadow Campaigns.</b></p>
