The Chronist

Synopsis

The Chronist - The A Thousand Thrones II War A novel by Tolmarher Series: Continuus Nexus - Octava Saga Fifteen standard years after the events of The Three Pearl, the Neoempire dominates an immense fringe of the East of Ekron-Dagan, but its power is a scab about a wound that never completely closed: Infernal Conjunction. In the vast Eternum, where superimposed galaxies survive as cosmic scars, faith does not comfort: it hardens. The order does not recite: submit. Gurney of Japeto, son of farmers from a undergoing twilight world, was tipped from barley fields at age 6 to serve the Order of Writers and Chronists at Nod. His pen had to record his story and never change his name. His fate was biopergamine, not blood. Reported to document some excavations at Hyperion - a planet that had been torn up two centuries earlier by challenges to the Nimrod Stretch - the young chronist was trapped in a conjug that outweighed his archaeology and pitted his supreme heresy. Under the sands lies a prohibited relic: a pure Genetic Seed of Dave of Orion, the Red Messiah whose lineage founded empires and unleashed holy wars. Handcuffed by a Sister of the Way whose ambition transcends his vote, surrounded by heretical Mordus, Andorore mercenaries and crepuspular forces, Gurney finds his presence was not casual. He was brought to write an official version... or to legitimize a new Messiah. When the conspiracy bursts and a herese fleet equivalent to two legions focuses on Vanguardia VIII, the fate of the Neoempire pits from a thread. The intervention of the Galactic Rig Exodits only prevents an immediate war. But they can't touch ground. The final job lies with a chronist. In the womb of a shattered fortress, with an old age, with smoke and betrayal, Gurney awakes to an impossible truth: his hands have been filled with an exomant power that he never knew how to possess. And you have to decide if you're just a witness to the story or his executor. The Chronist is a space opera grimdark novel where faith faces genetics, a desire for doctrine and an immortality to conviction. In the Mil Thrones War there are no light heroes. Just will that manage evil to avoid something worse. And sometimes the destiny of the Empire lies with those who should simply write it.
