Bücher der Reihe THE ASSASSINS OF HARMONY

War comes knocking on Clan Iredale's front door.As diplomacy fails, one chieftain's choice will decide the fate of his clan. One magus's heroism will decide the fate of the Inland Empire and the Holy Oregon.Edmund, chieftain of Clan Iredale, has struggled valiantly to avoid the outbreak of war. But now, his efforts backfire with shattering results. The Mother Metropolitan declares a holy crusade against Clan Iredale. The forces marshaling to attack stagger the imagination. Only Edmund's complete surrender can prevent his people's annihilation.While Edmund bravely prepares to fight a hideous war he cannot win, Vlod, his personal magus, embarks on a much lonelier and much more perilous course of action. Against his chieftain's express orders, Vlod secretly works to develop a weapon that will shift the balance of power in Edmund's favor-a weapon that threatens to wipe out the religion of the Goddess and the God.Vlod's heresy might prove Clan Iredale's only hope for survival-but it might also endanger the clans of the Inland Empire and the Holy Oregon greater than any war.The Heretic's Son, The Assassins of Harmony, Book 3, weaves a heroic tale, set in a post-industrial future, in which physical survival and spiritual belief threaten to obliterate each other...and humanity.

The wheel of time keeps turning. It stops for no one. It cannot be escaped.As the flames of the funeral pyre consume Clan Iredale's dead,Dagna, the chieftain's second daughter, chants a single name over and over, so the Gods will remember. It is a name of her own choosing: Zachary.The clan must honor its dead, but Edmund, the chieftain of Clan Iredale, must focus his thoughts on the days ahead. The Iredales must return to their ships. They have business with Seldon, the chieftain of Clan Sauvie, business that cannot wait. They must make haste. No matter the cost, the Iredales' grief will have its due.In Seldon's Hall, The Assassins of Harmony, Book 5, spins a dystopian tale, set several centuries in the future, in which ambition and defiance explode like barrels of hot pitch thrown into the cauterizing flames of a funeral pyre.
