The Hand of Fire by Roland J. O'Leary The material world has a mystical reflection – the Essence. If you have the power to manipulate the Essence, you can change the world of matter. You can conjure a flame from nothing. You can make your dreams come true. Or create nightmares of your worst imagining. This is the world of The Hand of Fire, the first novel in a new epic fantasy series filled with gripping action, spectacular magic and spellbinding visual writing. The Grand Alliance has failed, its armies destroyed by the monstrous Ulokan horde. But the Ulokans have been defeated in turn by the forces of the sorcerer-lord Skraka Gorn. As ancient evils rise once more and new threats emerge, Gorn proposes a new empire under his leadership. Tamurac, lord of the Halyas, has disappeared with the Grand Alliance. Now his teenage son Danalar must accept responsibility and become the warrior and leader he has trained his whole life to be. Meanwhile, until he comes of age it falls to Charymylle, Lady Halyas, to lead the clan through this time of change - if the wardens and warband will follow a woman. When a survivor returns with suspicions of Gorn's treachery, the Halyas must make a fateful choice. They could choose safety and support Gorn's imperial ambitions. Or dare to resist his expanding empire and face his devastating sorceries in a new kind of war. Their decision leads to an adventure greater and more terrible than the Halyas ever imagined. |
