Description
Adranatti, the City of Dreams, has fallen far since the height of its
glory and influence. For Professor Halir Ashford, explorer, adventurer
and historian, Adranatti is meant to just be a port of call as he sails
north to the colonies on behalf of the Maedari Commonwealth, but it is
not to be. Barely has he arrived than he is drawn into a feud between
two princes for control of the throne of Adranatti. Both want him to
seek out a legendary lost city deep in the heart of the desert, said to
contain great wealth.
With his companions, Abhiala, his
student and the daughter of the man who saved his life, Caerohir, an old
friend from his days as a Hussar fighting in a foreign war, and Marassi
and Logawa, bitter rivals and agents of the two princes, he sets out to
find it.
The deserts hold many dangers, but the greatest may lie within the lost city itself.
