The Book of Silence
PAWN OF THE DARK GODS
Nothing had gone right for Garth the overman since he had come to the
human city of Skelleth. He had been exiled from his home, forced to
raid the altars of the Dark Gods, possessed by Bheleu, god of
destruction, and tricked into vowing to serve the god of death through
the god's high priest, the mysterious Forgotten King.
Now the
followers of Aghad, god of hatred and vengeance, had tortured his wife
and threatened to kill his sons and friends. He could only defeat them
by taking up the Sword of Bheleu again – surrendering himself to the
savage rage of the ruthless god.
Or he could bring the
Forgotten King the Book of Silence from a long-forgotten crypt. But
that would serve the god of death by loosing spells that could bring
about the Fifteenth Age – the age that might bring death to all living
beings!
He was only one overman – against the Dark Gods of Dûs!
