Synopsis

For centuries the Drehhu have ruled every continent, brutally enslaving the human inhabitants. Now after endless wars the human empires of Ophion, Velesa, and Modjal have pushed the inhuman enemy back to their heartland and unite in a final, massive assault.

The victors will rule from The Basilisk Throne

Alastor Nevelon and his son Crespin set sail against the Drehhu, and they have their own secret weapons. Yet Alastor is forced to send his daughter Chrysanthe to the capitol city Ophion Magne as a “token” of his loyalty to the emperor. He instructs Chrysanthe to use her considerable intellect to discover what plots may
be afoot, even as she enters a place where courtly manners hide murderous intent.

As nations collide the true key to defeating the Drehhu may lie in a remote mountain stronghold, with a wild rogue known as Hound and Ammolite, the young slave of a sorcerer more ancient than any nation—whose loyalties remain threateningly unknown.

Goodreads review by Yamini on April 03, 2023

Filled with sorcerers, dark magic and wars for the throne and power in treacherous water is this fantasy tale. The book is surely a page-turner but it does take its sweet time with plot building. Once you are through with that, the parallel tale being narrated makes more sense. It does have a lot of......more
