Reseña del editor
Still grieving the death of her son, the Holy Matriarch of Mann has ordered her troops to embark on a mission to the Mercian Free Ports. Riding at the head of her army she plans to finally conquer the city of Bar-Khos, whose walls have kept them at bay for ten long years. Ash has other plans for her. The old Roshun warrior is determined that he will have vengeance for the crimes she has committed. But such a course of retribution is in direct opposition to everything he has lived for - this isn't a Roshun vendetta - it's personal. While Ash battles with his conscience, Che, the Matriarch's personal Diplomat and assassin, is questioning his own path. Watching as the Mannian army slaughters their way across the world, he wonders whether he believes any of the doctrine he has been taught to follow. As the battle for Bar-Khos intensifies, more and more lives are affected: Bahn who leaves all he loves in the city to try to protect it from the ravening Mannian empire, Bull the murderer who senses a chance to make things right, and Curl, the young prostitute who is determined to seek her own retribution on the field of battle. When the two armies clash - all looks set to be decided. But it's not sheer force that will win this battle. But the tormented determination of one man seeking redemption . . .

Hardback: 9½" x 6¼". Zustand: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Cover Art: Steve Stone (illustrator). 1st Edition. © 2011: 2nd in the 'Heart Of The World' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Still grieving the death of her son, the Holy Matriarch of Mann has ordered a risky invasion of the Free Ports. Riding at the head of her army she plans, once and for all, to conquer the fortress city of Bar-Khos, whose walls have held the empire at bay for ten long years of siege. Ash is a man who would see her dead before that. The ailing Roshun assassin is determined to seek vengeance for the Matriarch's previous crimes. But such a course of retribution goes against everything his life has taught him - for this is no Roshun vendetta, this is personal. While Ash battles with his conscience, Che, the Matriarch's personal diplomat, a trained killer of the state, is questioning his own path in all of this. Watching the Mannian army slaughter their way across the remnants of the free world, he begins to question whether he believes the doctrines he has been taught to follow. With the battle for the Free Ports intensifying, more lives are drawn into the bloody conflict: Bahn, the siege-shocked soldier on the verge of losing his mind; Bull, the murderer who finds that, at times like these, brutal men are needed after all; and Curl, a young dross-addicted prostitute determined to make a stand against the approaching Mannian empire even if it costs her her life. When the two armies clash all looks set to be decided. But sheer force alone will not be enough to win this war - only the gruelling determination of one man seeking redemption may be enough to sway the final outcome:- (original cost £17.99).
