Publisher's Synopsis
The test of strength has come down to who can destroy all competitors, regardless of the cost to mankind. Treaties no longer have value. Wisdom is considered weakness. Men have become their own evil gods. No need for quaint mythology or learned theology. Morality is now simply the claim by which actions of the strong are given authenticity. Increasing chaos in the skies and the waters are Nature's oblivious response to imbalance wrought by men. Ereben Leaf, last Guardian of the Ruins, must find a way to salvage what remains, while seeking a route to peace, among men as well as beasts. What can be saved?
