Synopsis

Centuries after the God War, the seat of mortal power rests in Quaylence, City of the Dead Gods. Quaylence stands at the crossroads between the Deific Realm and the Mortal World. It is a city where the living can meet the Dead. Pilgrims journey to pay respects to lost relatives, and sometimes, sometimes they are elevated and join the ranks of the GodSplinters, once-mortals infused with a fragment from one of the dead gods. Lerin was one such pilgrim. Now he lives in Quaylence as a Splinter of Karnast, God of Thieves and Scholars. Heir to Aspects of Karnast’s might, he is ageless and forever changed. These changes came with a cost. The mortal half of his soul sleeps while the god in him is active. The god in him Slumbers while his mortal half is active. Lerin’s Slumbers are long and his mortal half has developed a taste for self-mutilation. Now he has awoken missing one of his deific Aspects, and part of his left hand.

About this title

About the Author:

Alexander McKinney first discovered his love of Fantasy with 'Dragons of Autumn Twilight.' From there he proceeded to devour every novel of Dragonlance mythology that he could find. His lifelong obsession with the genre can undoubtedly be laid at the feet of Margaret Weis & Tracey Hickman. Branching out from medieval worlds took time, but eventually a dearth of locally available titles required the radical move to the genre of Science Fiction. There, lying in wait was a host of glittering treasures: Herbert, Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein. Authors who only sunk the hook deeper. Alexander lives in the Bahamas and proves that insanity goes hand in hand with a passion for writing as the pursuit of new stories frequently interferes with the pursuit of enjoying beaches and sunshine, a choice that he is certain most people would not make.
