In this heroic fantasy, Galadrath Yaralok is a royal executioner. He and the rest of the Many are well versed in the divine art of manipulating matter and energy-a skill learned through the salvaged debris of dead gods. When Galadrath is betrayed by those he serves, he is forced down a path of lawlessness and revenge. Forming alliances with former enemies, he begins to understand the struggles of his countrymen and the cruelty of their oppressors. In his quest for redemption, he leaves a trail of destruction in his wake and ultimately comes face to face with a malevolent goddess who has haunted him since childhood.
