The Shadows of Aqueron

Synopsis

The world's been down, but his echo's still up and about. Following the fall of the HMS Demeter and the irreversible opening of the Brecha, the scattered fragments of mankind awaken to lands where logic does not govern, and death is no longer an end but a threshold. Walter Stewart, now built by guilt and fire, looks for meaning between the ruins of time, chased by visions that do not belong to him and truths that no man should reveal. At the end of the impossible continent, Jonah Fox marches with a sword stolen from oblivion, facing the demons that come up not only from mud and blood but also from the past. His destiny intertwines with that of Cannia McGregor, an heiress of an extinct offspring and mother of the child who could give his soul back to a world without redemption. But protecting a child at night isn't about heroes but about those who are cursed. Meanwhile, war drums resound beyond the desert. Clans forgotten, beasts forged at the doom and armies of returned get ready for final siege. A final truth expects to be revealed... or buried forever. No gods here listen. Just shadows. And Aqueron, the impossible ground, begins to remember why he was cursed.
