Fortune’s Triumph, Mercy’s Regret
From the Secret Scrolls of the Imperaré
Ulric fled under darkening skies, and the storm followed. Ahead, Lucomo Square loomed. Should he cross it and enter the First Stones District? Or take the next canal bridge deeper into the Portum Mare? Was he looking for an escape route or a battlefield? Fight or flight? The only thing he knew was that he had to face Modius Nero alone.
Book Synopsis
THE THRILLING CONCLUSION TO THE FORTUNE AND MERCY SAGA!
Ulric Darktalon, once a rogue thief from the provinces, is now the capital city’s most wanted man, possessor of the prize that drives both Men and Elts to madness: the mythical gate-stone.
He and his two companions, the beautiful priestess Trumerus Julia and the impetuous warrior Rexinda Hamunds-Daughter, are the only survivors of an ill-fated expedition into Eltaran lands. They return to Trumric to find the streets are bleeding. The alliance between the criminal Imperaré princes has shattered into open warfare. And in response, the Senate has empowered Julia’s father, the ruthless General Trumerus, to restore order.
Above it all, the storm magus Modius Nero lies in wait, planning his final vengeance from atop the Collegium Dragon Towers.
What of Ulric’s nemesis, the assassin Luciano Porteles? Can their truce hold? And who is the mysterious “watcher” who shadows Ulric’s every move?
