In the third book in A.J. Smith's epic fantasy saga of Ro, Alexander Tiris, the last hope of the royal line, can no longer ignore the traitorous actions of his family. Thralled to the envoys of a corrupt new power, they have turned upon their kingdom and their god.

Between the desert plains of Karesia and the icy wastes of Ranen, there once lay the kingdom of Ro. Its lands were fertile. Its men and women were prosperous. Their god - the One - was satisfied.

But then the men of Ro grew unwatchful, and the armies of the south took their chance. Now the Seven Sisters rule the Kingdom, enslaving their people with sorcery of pleasure and blood. Soon, they will appoint a new god. The Long War rumbles on... but the Red Prince has yet to enter the field of battle.

ALL THAT WAS DEAD WILL RISE.
ALL THAT NOW LIVES WILL FALL...

'The Long War series is epic fantasy at its scary, fun, sarcastic, shock-laden best. A.J. Smith is definitely getting into his stride and the good news is it's not over yet!' Bookbag.
