From the paperback
A gripping new fantasy adventure from the author of the Deverry series, set far in the future on the strangely beautiful but inhospitable planet Snare.

The Kazraks arrived 800 years ago from the Homelands, determined to found a pure society and live simple lives based on the teachings of the three prophets. But the despotic rule of the Great Khan leads a small band to take drastic action. Following information from Yarl Soutan, a mysterious sorcerer from the far away Cantons, Captain Idres Warkannan and his nephew, Arkazo, set off to find the Great Khan’s younger brother, Jezro, and bring him back to stage a coup. But first they must cross the purple grassy plains inhabited both by the peace-loving comnees, and by the terrifying ChaMeech, intelligent beasts who regularly raid their borders.

Meanwhile Zayn Hassan, a loyal member of the Chosen, the Great Khan’s deadly secret service, is well on his way to successfully infiltrating a comnee in order to cross the plains and the Great Rift safely. His mission is to follow Yarl Soutan and find out what he’s doing leading the devoutly religious Kazraks to the decadent Cantons. But he hasn’t bargained for the simple pleasure of life on the plains, or the attractions of Ammadin, the comnee’s fiercely independent spirit rider.

As both parties journey across the plains they come to realise that there is more at stake than their individual quests. Centuries-old falsehoods are gradually revealed as all the factions begin to see that their histories and identities are not what they thought they were.

Combining the dazzling invention of her SF with the gripping adventure of her bestselling Deverry series, Katharine Kerr has created a truly unique and thrilling literary fusion.

From the Trade Paperback

Set on the desolate and inhospitable planet of Snare, this is a gripping new fantasy set in the far future about the centuries-long conflict between the human colonists and the alien inhabitants.

Many years ago, the people of Earth threw themselves into the far-flung depths of space, eager to colonise the stars. Many perished, but some were fortunate enough to find sustainable planets. The colonists who came to Snare were not so lucky.

Centuries later they have adapted to life on this harsh and unforgiving planet, but have lost all traces of their technological past, living now in rugged simplicity. However, the elements are not their only foe because Snare is home to an alien species, the ChaMeech, who bitterly resent the colonists’ claim on the planet’s precious and diminishing land.

As volcanoes lay waste to the planet, and political rivalries threaten to disrupt the colonists’ tyrannous empire, the ChaMeech prepare for one final battle…

Combining the dazzling invention of her SF with the gripping adventure of her bestselling Deverry series, Katharine Kerr has created a truly unique and enjoyable literary fusion.

"A dagger laid against our throat."

So Prince Dar of the Westlands calls Zakh Gral, a new fortress built by the Horsekin, the ancient enemies of his people. To help him destroy this threat, the elven prince has called upon his allies: the dwarven folk of the northern mountains and the human men of Deverry to the east. Their leaders know that if the Westlands fall to the Horsekin, their own throats will feel that dagger next. Joining them are two powerful dragons, who have their own bitter reasons to hate the Horsekin.

But the fanatical Horsekin believe that they have the most powerful ally of all: a new goddess. Alshandra's priestesses have announced that she has given the Horsekin the lands belonging to the prince - and that his people must be utterly destroyed.


Rooted in Celtic mythology and intricately interweaving human and elven history over several hundred years, Katharine Kerr's dazzling saga tells of ancient enmities and undying friendships experienced through many lives. Epic fantasy on a truly grand scale.
