Publisher's Summary:
The first audiobook in the fantasy trilogy from the hugely popular author of the View from the Mirror and the Well of Echoes series.
After 10 years of servitude, Nish is about to be released from the blackest prison of his corrupt father, the maimed God-Emperor, Jal-Nish Hlar.
Using the sorcerous Profane Tears, Gatherer and Reaper, Jal-Nish has crushed all opposition and is remaking Santhenar in his depraved image. The oppressed peoples of the world see Nish as a messianic figure, the Deliverer, who promised long ago to return and cast down his father.
Unfortunately, Nish has no choice but to repudiate that solemn oath, for he's a broken man, powerless and alone. Even worse, his father is trying to seduce Nish into becoming his lieutenant and, faced with the unbearable alternative of another 10 years in prison, Nish isn't sure he can resist the temptation.
The one person who can help him is little Maelys, a shy, bookish dreamer forced by duty to use Nish for an ignoble purpose. But Maelys is the last woman he wants, and she carries a secret that is more likely to destroy Nish than save him.
Critic Reviews:
"The final payoff is fantastic. The most unflaggingly inventive storyteller we've seen in years." (Sydney Morning Herald)

Riveting read!
This book had me hooked from the beginning and kept me thinking and guessing until the end. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story.
Ok
I will read volume two ,but the end became quite boring.Just rehashing previous things.But have hopes for it to come together more.
Easy reading, great story teller
Easy reading, great story teller. Ian Irvine manages to weave a captivating universe whilst continuing to mix it up from series to series
The on and on book
I have never read a book that go on and on and on. Well I hope you got it!!! This book has a good plot and characters,but it goes on with out stopping on a thought or situation. Instead of a chapter,it takes pages and pages to make a get simple point across it was maddening at times .so if this book can fix the on and on part . We might have a book!!!!!!
A Wonderful Start to a New Series!
This book starts ten years after the last series, "The Well of Echoes" leaves off. Irvine again has created another masterpiece of fantasy fiction that sits well upon the The Three Worlds universe that he has created.
The God-Emperor Jal-Nish rules the world with an iron fist, but all is not lost, there is one hope (or a few more hidden in the cracks) that will hopefully end this despotic, and savage world.
Irvine's books, and world for that matter, have gradually become darker and more sedistic as the series has gone on. I question the motivation behind this change, as the reference to debauchery in the first series was very minimal, but is quite prevalent in this one so far. It certainly sets the stage for the landscape of this heretical world. I do not find it unappealing, however a cautionary word to parents, this material might be a little too graphic for children, this series is certainly not a substitute for a Harry Potter, or Diane Duane youngster looking for adventure in between releases.
I am a devoted fan of Irvine's and have read all of his "Three Worlds" books knowing that I have to import them from either the UK or Australia.
