The Shattered Goddess
The Shattered Goddess by Darrell Schweitzer is a fantasy novel in the manner of Jack Vance's The Dying Earth or Clark Ashton Smith's Zothique series, set millions of years in the future when the Goddess of Earth has died and her lingering power flickers over her colossal corpse like deadly lightning. In an increasingly nightmarish world, the young hero must discover his true identity and role in what may be the final epoch of human history.
