Lies and Flames

In freeing the Benu Bird, Eleanor Knight has restored time and the seasons to the people of Chorolon. But the Gods still watch and wait, acting out their desires through the lives of men and women. A dispossessed mage brings death to Shelt, creating an ice-bound city of dazzling sunlight. In the desert the Mage Lefevre takes on a new incarnation, thinking to recapture his lost past in the city of the Sun. But there are challenges to the power of mages, Moon-inspired strategies that work on a very different level... In Shelt, Eleanor's erstwhile lover is married to another, and there is no way through to Lukas, weighed down as he is by duty. Eleanor escapes to England, but a different world offers her no relief. She cannot run forever from the claims of Sun and Moon. She must return, the decision her own this time, to Chorolon, where lies and flames distort every level of truth.
