Paperback. Condition: Good. A gripping new fantasy adventure from the author of the Deverry series, set far in the future on the strangely beautiful but inhospitable planet Snare. The Kazraks arrived eight hundred years ago from the Homelands, determined to found a pure society and live simple lives based on the teachings of the three prophets. But the despotic rule of the Great Khan leads a small band to take drastic action. Following information from Yarl Soutan, a mysterious sorcerer from the far away Cantons, Captain Idres Warkannan and his nephew Arkazo set off to find the Great Khan's younger brother, Jezro, and bring him back to stage a coup. But first they must cross the purple grassy plains inhabited both by the peace-loving comnees, and by the terrifying ChaMeech, intelligent beasts who regularly raid their borders. Meanwhile Zayn Hassan, a loyal member of the Chosen, the Great Khan's deadly secret service, is well on his way to successfully infiltrating a comnee in order to cross the plains and the Great Rift safely. His mission is to follow Yarl Soutan and find out what he's doing leading the devoutly religious Kazraks to the decadent Cantons. But he hasn't bargained for the simple pleasure of life on the plains, or the attractions of Ammadin, the comnee's fiercly independent spirit rider. As both parties journey across the plains they come to realize that there is more at stake than their individual quests. Centuries-old falsehoods are gradually revealed as all the factions begin to see that their histories and identities are not what they thought they were. Combining the dazzling invention of her SF with the gripping adventure of her bestselling Deverry series, Katharine Kerr has created a truly unique and thrilling literary fusion. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Seller Inventory # GOR004883648

Light tanning to text block:- Synopsis: In despair at the corruption of his ruler, the despotic Great Khan, Captain Idres Warkannan sets out towards the far-distant Cantons in search of a new leader. His hope is that the Great Khan's long-lost younger brother, Jezro, will return with him and end the suffering of his people. A devoutly religious Kazrak, he is dependent on the guidance of the mysterious Canton sorcerer, Yarl Soutan, to cross the vast plains of purple grass in safety. But Soutan is shadowed by a loyal member of the Chosen, the Great Khan's deadly secret service: Zayn Hassan has infiltrated a tribe of peace-loving nomads in order to carry out his spying mission. He certainly hasn't bargained for the simple pleasure of life on the plains, or the attractions of Ammadin, the tribe's fiercely independent spirit rider. Journeying across the grass, both parties gradually come to realize that more is at stake than their individual quests. One by one, centuries-old falsehoods are revealed as all the factions begin to discover the unsettling truth that their histories and identities are far less dependable than they had believed:- (original cost £12.99).
