For Isak, the time for heartless decisions
and ruthless action has come if he is to
save the land from its oppressors...
Scree has been wiped from the face of the Land in a brutal demonstration of intent. While those responsible scatter to work on the next step in their plan, the stakes are raised—all the way to the heavens—as the Gods themselves enter the fray. Returning home to a nation divided by fanaticism, Lord Isak is haunted both by the consequences of his actions in Scree and by visions of his own impending death. As the full extent of Azaer's schemes become clearer, he realises prophecy and zealotry must play their part in his battle-plans if there is to be any chance of surviving the coming years. As a white-eye, Isak has had to embrace the darker parts of his own soul, but now the savage religious fervour sweeping his nation must also be accepted and turned to purpose, in the name of survival. With the battle lines vague and allegiances uncertain, the time for heartless decisions and ruthless action has come. Two figures oppose Isak and his allies: the greatest warrior in history, who dreams of empire and Godhood, and a newborn baby whose dreams have no limit.

Reviews:
"Tom Lloyd brings hope for the future of fantasy literature."
—Dreamwatch
"[Tom Lloyd] echoes writers such as Moorcock and Gemmel."
—Interzone
"From the outset, the Twilight Reign series has demonstrated a depth of involvement and a sense of epic scale... always fascinating as events unfold, gradually, around a large cast of characters whose rich personalities blend with the diverse cultural backgrounds the author has created. It's obvious Lloyd has a vision of exactly where his power-hungry gods and kings are going, and it's proving to be an extraordinary journey." —SFX
