Soul Of The City eBook

Dark magical forces are afoot in the eighth entry of the shared-world fantasy series.

An ominous black storm from hell rages down on the city of Ranke. Its streets are full of lethal hail, and its walls are coated with ash. As the new Emperor and his mercenary Tempus wonder what can be done to stop it, a shade manifests before them on behalf of the gods with a decree: Travel to the city of Sanctuary and destroy the globes of the Nisibisi power . . .

Meanwhile, Sanctuary is riddled with crime, blood feuds, and warring factions. An army of mercenaries is all that stands between the city and chaos. And the witch once known as Death’s Queen, Roxane, lives in a hovel by the river. She no longer holds as much power as she once did, but even she can sense that trouble is on its way . . .

Brace yourself for adventure in this shared-world anthology featuring six stories by three of fantasy’s best authors: Lynn Abbey, Janet Morris, and C. J. Cherryh.
