Paperback. Condizione: new. De Gouveia, Stephen; Funke, Hannah (illustratore). Paperback. Robbed of the legacy that set them apart as the descendants of Imrahn, the god of Battles, the Vaerhan of Nuria willingly contend with other nations in Myral as ordinary mortals. Their questors and kings guard against the seduction of the mysterious Art, and their laws and traditions condemn the smallest offense, even with death. Gaereth, the younger prince in the northland, is fascinated by the dreams that haunt him night or day, and walks a tightrope between blasphemy and truth, drawn inexorably towards the forbidden, arcane knowledge of his race. All the while the questions burning inside him are to remain mysteries unanswered, for who in all the world would know their secrets? What has happened to the king's brother, exiled for a supposed kinslaying? Why was the Art outlawed after the dreadful Summoning of Cail the Cursed? His understanding seems unalterably limited by the ramblings of his tutors and the equivocation of the priests. Yet dark treachery looms over all, and cataclysmic events are on the horizon. The season has arrived where all masks are to be removed at last. Progeny of Hate is the first book in the Palingenesis trilogy, and recounts the first dismal seasons that follow four individuals on their epic journeys to the truth, unimagined liberty, the fulfillment of dreams, and ultimately, redemption.
