The Dead God's Due (The Eye of the Lion Saga Book 1)
by Matt Gilbert
The end of the world is nigh, and Yazid Valerian, warrior priest of Ilaweh, is alone with the truth: the time of the Dead God's prophecy is at hand, and the world's fate hangs in the balance. His only hope is to lead an expedition across the sea in search of fabled Nihlos, City of Sorcerers, where he hopes to make allies of ancient enemies.
Kariana Tasinal was never trained to be empress of Nihlos, and she never wanted the job. Aiul Amrath, respected physician and heir to his house, is close to war with his mother over his choice to marry a commoner. Yazid’s arrival will force Kariana to confront her crippling lack of leadership skills, and turn Aiul down dark paths he never imagined.
As cultures clash, Yazid must face the truth: he and his men may well be the cause of the very catastrophe they intended to prevent. The end of the world will not begin in his own land as he had imagined.
It has already begun here, in Nihlos.
