Аннотация

In het hart van de demonenoorlog kan niets als vanzelfsprekend worden beschouwd, omdat het het lot van de betrokkenen naar een uiterst gevaarlijke en verleidelijke vorm van chaos leiden. Een man ontdekt dat vreemden in het donker kunnen botsen voor een moment van verblindende passie, alleen om te worden gescheiden door de koude hand van het lot zonder zelfs een naam om te helpen bij zijn jacht op haar. Een andere man zal merken dat wanneer de Schaduw des Dood een stalker wordt, de meest verleidelijke vijanden snel zijn sterkste bondgenoot kunnen worden … zelfs als het tegen zijn zin is. En kan het hart van één zielsverwant de twee mannen die van haar houden, ervan houden elkaar te vermoorden?

Dramatische, personage-gedreven epische fantasie met een bespelen van horror en humor, voor volwassenen. De goden uitdagen is hun toorn uit te nodigen. Dus het is geschreven van Lachyla, de verwoeste stad, in de Codex van de Leeftijden. Maar wie leest codices? En wie gelooft de grote verhalen van de verhalenvertellers echt? Dagra doet het. Als het een verhaal over de goden is – zelfs een dode god – gelooft hij elk woord. Wanneer zijn vrijbuitersgilde een contract wordt aangeboden om de Dode landen over te steken en een begrafenisjuweel in de crypten van de Verwoeste Stad te vinden, wil Dagra er geen deel van uitmaken. Zijn metgezellen zijn niet ontmoedigd door de legende; voor hen is de onscherpe kloof tussen de levenden en de doden bijgelovige onzin. Het voltooien van het contract zou de foute reputatie van hun gilde een broodnodige boost geven en hen de premie van hun leven garanderen. Ze gaan, met of zonder hem. Verscheurd tussen de overtuigingen van zijn overtuigingen en het belang van zijn vriendschappen, reist Dagra met tegenzin in het goddeloze gebied op zoek naar de legendarische stad. Maar de Deadlands zijn slechts de eerste uitdaging. De vrijbuiters onthullen een eeuwenoud bedrog wanneer ze ontdekken dat Lachyla's gemene zaad veel donkerder is dan zijn legende, dat de waarheid voor altijd onverteld moet blijven of de mensheid dreigt te storten in een eeuwige nachtmerrie. Vastgebonden op de weerhaken van de ziekte, staat Dagra voor de moeilijkste keuze in zijn leven … en voor zijn dood.
