C'lar's Grace

Caelus has been destroyed. All that is left of the once numerous inhabitants are Lo'thar, Maegil, Jo'tal, the younglings, and Lorelei. Lorelei is trapped in the Inner Sanctum of the Archus Superus, forced to use her telepathic skills to pretend to service him on a now nightly basis, not foreseeing that her supposed skill in love-making is attracting the attention of those who wish her harm for daring to become Kral's favorite. The others are trapped with Ramstar on his run-down freighter, forced to understand a world without magic and without what would appear to be a moral compass. Driven by a desire to find Lorelei, Lo'thar and Meagil must part ways with Jo'tal, whose all embracing passion for revenge will drive him to killing without remorse. Set against an empire ready to crumble from within, Cl'ar's Grace takes our heroes far passed their comfort-zones and into a world of piracy, thievery, betrayal and violence the likes of which they never knew existed. And then there is Cl'ar.... R. Peter Ubtrent was born in New York City but moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico at the age of eight.
