دریای زمان: سری کِنسیرا، جلد ۷

New novel in the Kencyrath series, sequel to Honor's Paradox. Adventure in a well-crafted high fantasy land. Kothifir the Great, ruled by an obscenely obese god-king, peopled with colorful, dueling guilds, guarded by the Southern Host of the Kencyrath. Here Jame arrives, only to find that the turbulent city claims more of her attention as the Talisman than the Hosts training fields do as a second year randon cadet. Mysteries abound: Caravans plunge deep into the hostile Southern Wastes and return laden with fabulous riches -- from what source, and why do they crumble to dust if not claimed by the god-kings touch? Karnids from Urakarn prowl the shadows, preaching the return of their mysterious prophet. An unstable Kencyr temple rumbles in the outer, decayed rings of the city. Then too, someone in the Hosts camp is trying to get Jame killed. In order to save the present, Jame must search the past, be it fifteen years ago when as a boy her brother Torisen arrived here, unknown and unwanted, or three thousand years ago when the Wastes were a great sea ringed with rich civilizations. Somehow, Tori survived. Somehow, the cities of the plain were destroyed in one catastrophic night. Now Kothifir's gods have lost their power and its proud towers are falling. What curse out of the past has struck it? Jame, a potential Nemesis, must try to stop the destruction--without undoing time itself. About P.C. Hodgells Kyncyrath Series: "P.C.

Kothifir: a land where time shifts and the past can circle around to the present and vice versa at any moment. Here Jame, Kencyrath heir doomed to stalk the gods, joins the Southern Host to find that the past is infringing on the present and eating away at the foundations of the city state itself. Jame must quest to the Wastes nearby in search of a mystery which is infinitely valuable to Kothifir--as well as being a window into the Kencyrath's tortured history. It is a mystery that may save the land, but may spell doom for Jame's brother, heir to the Kencyrath legacy. Into the past Jame must go in search of a younger version of her brother. But how can she save him as he was then and still keep the future intact? And as the Kothfir gods fail and its towers are falling, Jame realizes that somewhere in the Waste lies not merely the promise of saving the land, but the threat of complete destruction. For somewhere in the Waste, the Master lurks. And it is up to Jame to stop him. Kothifir is a city ruled by a god-king, peopled with dueling guilds, and guarded by the Southern Host of the Keneyrath. Here Jame arrives to find that mysteries abound. In order to save the present, Jame must search the past, be it fifteen years ago or three thousand years ago. Jame must solve the riddles out of the past before those of the present destroy Kothifir, if not Keneyrath and Rathillien themselves
