An ancient weapon has destroyed the city of Windwir. War is coming to the Named Lands, and soon all the Kingdoms will be at each other's throats, as alliances are challenged and hidden plots are uncovered. This remarkable first novel from an award-winning short fiction writer will take readers to a new world - an Earth so far in the distant future that our time is not even a memory; a world where magick is commonplace, and great areas of the planet are impassable wastes.
