Epic fantasy for fans of Robin Hobb and Jay Kristoff. Book Synopsis **Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel** The first book in the award-winning Winnowing Flame trilogy. ![]() The Jurelia are coming, and the Ninth Rain will fall. And Tormalin is soon drawn into a conspiracy of magic and war, whilst a horror from the depths of history threatens to make even his people look reasonable. But not everyone is willing to let the Eboran empire fall. Even when they are joined by a fugitive witch with a tendency to set things on fire, the prospect of facing down monsters and retrieving ancient artifacts is still preferable to the abomination he left behind. When the eccentric explorer Lady de Grazon offers him employment, he foresees an easy life escorting a rich old woman from one side of Sarn to the other. Better to enjoy the pleasures of wine and coin, the pursuit of men and women, than to waste away under the blind gaze of a long-dead god. Tormalin the Oathless, last son of Ebora, has had enough. Wolves walk streets that once shone with gold, and Eboras people - diseased and inhuman - are fading into nothing. About the Book The great wall of Ebora is crumbling. ![]()
