TOR/Forge, 2021. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/New. Stephen Youll jacket art; Michael Johnston B&W map. CONDITION: What makes this book "as new" - tiny black remainder dot top edges. UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 2021 Tor/Forge hardcover (gold boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Beautiful dust jacket art by Stephen Youll. B&W map by Michael Johnston. CONTENT: "Soleri is bloody and utterly epic. A huge saga in a rich and deeply original world." "Prepare to be ensnared in a web of ruthless politics and unbridled ambition, where even the authority of the emperor may be based on an ancient deception. Johnston builds an immersive world with elements of Egyptian and Roman history, myth, and religion. This story seethes with twists and turns, betrayals and secrets, and will keep you guessing until the very last page." Solus celebrates the Opening of the Mundus, a two-day holiday for the dead, but the city of the Soleri is hardly in need of diversion. A legion of traitors, led by a former captain of the Soleri military, rallies at the capital's ancient walls. And inside those fortifications, trapped by circumstance, a second army fights for its very existence. In a world inspired by ancient Egyptian history and King Lear, this follow-up to Michael Johnston's Soleri, finds Solus besieged from within as well as without and the Hark-Wadi family is stuck at the heart of the conflict.
