City at the Edge of Time (5) (Sacred Band) - Hardcover

Críticas

"An exciting and brilliantly colored sortie . . ." -- David Drake

Praise for Janet Morris and Chris Morris' Sacred Band Series:

"A fantasy series about the Sacred Band of Stepsons, an elite army modeled on the fourth-century B.C.E. Sacred Band of Thebes. The stories explore the fraught personal relationships of mixed hetero- and homosexual troops, only sometimes paired, as they fight for their commander, the immortal Tempus. Morris includes archaeological and historical details, from physical items to social practices, religion, and philosophy, to create a fantasy world that is, in many ways, more historically accurate than many popular accounts of antiquity." -- Robert W. Cape, Jr, in Classical Traditions in Science Fiction, Brett M. Rogers & Benjamin Eldon Stevens, eds.,  Oxford University Press

Heroic Fantasy Novel #5 in the Sacred Band Series 

Join Tempus and Niko on the triple shores of land, sea, and eternity . . . 
Where a young girl trembles between love and sorcerous obsession . . . 
Where a prince's refusal to admit his flaws makes him a pawn of hell . . . 
Where a city of immortals learn that Death has not forgotten it . . . 

Beneath a warlock's citadel, swords and courage face the jaws of demons --

with a kingdom's fate, girl's life and a god's vengeance resting on the outcome.
