The River flowed from the mountains into the distant sea, and everywhere he touched, he ruled. Powerful and hungry, he had scoured every rival godling from the land. But, beyond the River's reach, there was a riot of gods and ghosts. Strange spirits jostled and contented with each other, and with the humans who shared their world. Into this rich and dangerous country came a surprising refugee: Hezhi, the River's own daughter, seeding the freedom to build a life of her own. But the River wanted her back and would use all his power and cunning to get her. Only the Blackgod could show her how to defeat the River. But he was a creature of limitless guile and duplicity. To trust him might place Hezhi in even more peril... Greg Keyes, a new master of fantasy, has produced a rich, vibrant and thrilling sequel to THE WATERBORN. |
