Produktbeschreibung

It's been two centuries since the Exodus, during which humans fled across a great ocean to escape the magical catastrophe that destroyed their old world. In the new world, they've begun to rebuild their civilization, but in a world where magic has been banned to prevent recurrence of that disaster. Morley, a dwarf, has found precarious safety as the court jester in Ankur. But safety is not acceptance, and he's at best shunned, feared and tormented at worst. When a mysterious sorcerer offers Morley a chance to be normal, he accepts without hesitation. But powerful magic always carries a price, and Morley finds the payback may be far costlier than he'd expected-it may even cost him his world. In this sequel to Chords, we learn more of the history of the post-Exodus world, what the true stakes are should magic re-enter the world, and what price Morley is willing to pay for acceptance.

Autorenporträt

Geoff Hart has reputedly been telling tales (sometimes ending up in considerable trouble thereby) since he was 6, but took many years to realize he could earn a living at this trade. Since 1987, he's worked as a technical writer and scientific editor for IBM, the Canadian Forest Service, and the Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada. Since 2004, he's been a freelancer, and only occasionally stops complaining about his boss. Geoff has worked primarily as a scientific and technical editor, specializing in authors who have English as a second language, but also does technical writing and French translation. He claims to have survived at least two bouts of leading or managing publications groups with only a minor need for ongoing therapy. A Fellow of the Society for Technical Communication (STC, www.stc.org), he has published 400+ nonfiction articles on communication, and spends an altogether unreasonable amount of time mentoring colleagues. His training is in plant ecology and plant physiology, which continue to fascinate him. In his spare time, he has committed three SFnal novels and a short story collection.
