A young king breaks with the past and makes peace with the kingdom his father has fought for years. To seal the bargain he is offered the hand of the kingdom¿s princess. And so begins a fast moving epic of madness, obsession, prejudice and sheer magic.
John Marco has woven an intricate tale of personalities driven by love, hatred and ambition. Each character must, in the end, pay the price for their actions and THE EYES OF GOD is, at its core, an almost classical tragedy.
Rich in its evocation of magical lands, detailed in its dissection of motive, compelling it its characters THE EYES OF GOD is the work of a natural storyteller revelling in his ability.

Descrizione libro Paperback: 9¼" x 6". Condizione: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Jim Burns (illustratore). 2002 Edition. © 2001: 1st in the 'Bronze Knight' series of books. 1st printing of 2002 edition:- Synopsis: Akeela, King of Liiria. Young and idealistic, determined to bring peace to his kingdom - a land that has been plagued by war with the neighbouring kingdom of Reec for decades. He has come to parley in Hes, capital city of Reec, with Liiria's age-old enemy, King Karis. With him are his Royal Chargers, led by a man as feared as the young king is loved: Lukien, the Bronze Knight. Not yet thirty, peerless with a sword, a reputation earned the hard way. War is his life, his true calling, Reec his sworn enemy. But he is Akeela's champion. His loyalty, stronger than blood, knows no limits. It is an unfortunate foe who faces the Bronze Knight's wrath. As Akeela and Lukien enter the gates of their enemy's stronghold, neither man foresees the turmoil this historic journey will wreak on their lives. For to seal the peace, King Karis of Reec bestows upon Akeela his most valued treasure: Cassandra, charming, beautiful, accomplished. But unknown to anyone, Cassandra hides a terrible secret, a disease which will threaten her life, and cause unimaginable strife for all who love her. And for Akeela and Lukien, the quest for Cassandra's salvation will overwhelm every bond of loyalty, every point of honor, every dream of peace. The Eyes of God will see their world torn apart:- Review(s): "John Marco will surprise you. Every time you think you recognize which branch of the Tree of Story you're on, you'll find you're on another one entirely - and pretty far out on a limb as well. Best of all, 'The Eyes Of God' isn't just about warfare, magic and monsters, although it's got all of those: it's about the terrible burden of making choices, and the way the seeds of victory are in every failure, and tragedy's beginnings are in every triumph" - Tad Williams:- (original cost £12.99).
