In prison, Damastes is shocked to learn that Tenedos lives. His friend, corrupted by power, faked his own death and is now building an army not only to retake Numantia, but to take over the world. Damastes is torn because he knows he's the only person who can stop Tenedos, but he would have to break his oath of allegiance to his friend to do it. Damastes escapes and as he assembles his own army, he discovers that there are more people loyal to him than he'd thought. He realizes that he must fight Tenedos because his responsibility to protect the people of Numantia is far more important than his oath to Tenedos. Seeking out even more supporters, Damastes prepares for the worst war Numantia has ever seen.
After a devastating military defeat, Numantia is ruled by a puppet government for a foreign king. Damastes, the empire's greatest general and the man who led so many to their deaths, languishes in prison awaiting his fate. But even he hears rumours that the powerful wizard Tenedos, the emperor drenched in the blood of his people, is not dead but is amassing a great army to take back Numantia.Suddenly Damastes' skills as a soldier are at a premium: the turncoat government wants him to stand against Tenedos, and Tenedos wants him to lead his army. Forced to escape and flee, Damastes, tired of killing, wants only to return home. But no man can run from his destiny.Find out more about this title and others at www.orbitbooks.co.uk
