The Infernal Lands
Despre această carte electronică
In the bleak and dangerous wastelands of a dying world, a lone drifter sets off on a journey of vengeance, fleeing the men who want him dead. Daxin Glaive is carrying a secret which, in the right hands, will ensure the downfall of his forefathers' most bitter rival and win his family its long-awaited retribution.
Across the sands, a young soldier stews in his lookout post above the derelict city of Belmond. Merrick Bouchard is one of thousands serving a dogmatic regime which seeks to control the city and its resources while starving masses of mutants and vagrants vie for the scraps. Carrying wounds from a brutal childhood and disenchanted with his life, Merrick will soon discover he is nothing like those with whom he serves. There is something in his blood; something which could break him if left untamed, but which might be the key to the survival of his world, if only he can learn how to wield it.
And in the fathomless depths of the world below them, a great evil lies dormant, waiting for the right time to rise again. Perhaps that time only requires the right person...
