From the author of the Recluce novels, the innovative and enchanting opening of an involving new fantasy story!

Alucius, hero of "Legacies" and "Darknesses," returns in this exciting third volume of the Corean Chronicles to face the greatest challenges yet to both his courage and his magical talent.

In Earth's distant future, Tyndel is both teacher and mentor, a staunch devotee to his conservative and rigidly structured religious culture. Then a rogue infection of nanotechnology transforms him into a "demon", something more than human, and he is forced into exile, fleeing to the more technologically advanced space-faring civilization that lies to the north, one that his own righteous people consider evil. Although shaken by his transformation, he has the rare talent required to become a space pilot. What no one, least of all Tyndel, expects, is his deep-space encounter with a vastly superior being--perhaps with God. Other Series by L.E.
