Synopsis
THE SACRED BAND GOES NORTH – TO WAR! Here is the new, revised and expanded Author’s Cut edition of BEYOND SANCTUARY, the first ever full-length novel to take you BEYOND the notorious Thieves World™ fantasy universe, where gods still stalk the land, warring with demons and human sorcerers and trampling unfortunate humanity underfoot. If you like stories of bold brave knights employed in meritorious duty, or tales of ladies delicate and fair, be warned. Beyond Sanctuary, set at the foot of notorious Wizardwall, may be too much for your sensibilities. There wizards, bards, and maidens mingle with murderers and thieves, and the fight breaking out at the next table may be the one that ends your life. The hero of BEYOND SANCTUARY is Tempus, leader of mercenaries and warrior-servant of Vashanka, god of storm and war. With Niko, Cime, and the Froth Daughter Jihan, Tempus faces the archmage Datan and his unholy followers – in a battle for the Rankan Empire’s survival and that of his very soul. BEYOND SANCTUARY is the first novel in Janet Morris’ BEYOND series, followed by BEYOND THE VEIL and BEYOND WIZARDWALL.

JANET MORRIS THIEVES WORLD BEYOND SANCTUARY

Sanctuary -- the meanest, seediest town in all of fantasy -- may be too much for your sensibilities. There wizrads, bards and maidens mingle with murderers and thieves, and the fight breaking out at the next table may be the one that ends your life. The hero of BEYOND SANCTUARY is Tempus, warrior-servant of the god of storm and war. But he is a hero cursed. Any woman that he loves must loathe him. And anyone, male or female, who loves him soon dies of it. Under such a curse his god's "gift," of immortality is one he would cast off -- if only he could. In BEYOND SANCTUARY, Tempus and his Sacred Band go north to war against the deadliest demons and most malevolent mages conceivable.
