Portal of a Thousand Worlds

ISBN: 1504038746
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
The looming threat of a once-in-a-millennium magical event sends nineteenth-century China into violent chaos in this epic alternate-history fantasy. Author of the Seventh Sword series Dave Duncan transports us to Imperial China in an alternate nineteenth century—an Asian epoch not unlike the Boxer Rebellion era—with a spellbinding tale of rebellion, political intrigue, larceny, seduction, shape-shifting, dark magic, and murder. These are troubled years in the Good Land. Ten centuries have passed since the last time the Portal of a Thousand Worlds opened, bringing chaos, upheaval, and radical change to the then-ruling dynasty, and now the mystical gateway is rumored to be on the verge of opening once more. Only the Firstborn—he who has been reincarnated through countless generations and remembers all he has ever learned—knows what the future holds, but he has been imprisoned for refusing to comply with a repressive imperial government’s wishes. Now, those hoping to seize the opportunity for wealth and position are hatching sinister plots. And as the cold-hearted dowager empress closely guards a fateful secret, and a rebel army led by a fanatical zealot gathers strength under the Bamboo Banner, the cataclysm approaches. . . . The recipient of two Aurora Awards and numerous Locus and Endeavour Award nominations, Dave Duncan is an acknowledged master of sword-and-sorcery adventure on par with George R. R. Martin of Game of Thrones fame. A sprawling epic with a colorful cast of royals, thieves, prostitutes, gods, warriors, dragons, assassins, merchants, and mages set against the backdrop of a volatile alternate Asia, Portal of a Thousand Worlds is a magnificent work of invention from one of the premier fantasists of our day.

Book Description
Once there was only a whisper – the legend of a being caught between life and death, a master of shadows who bore the secrets of forgotten magic. This legend was forgotten... until today. Reborn in iron armor and with a sword as cold as the grave, a new power has arisen, bound to a destiny as twisted as the dark magic that flows through his veins. But the world is no longer the same. Old empires have crumbled, gods have fallen silent, and humanity clings to survival under the shadow of cruel beasts and tyrants. In a realm full of ancient terrors, a lone warrior rises – a fragile spark in an endless storm, armed with cursed magic and an unbending will. Now a path of rebellion is forged through this unforgiving world. With every step, secrets come to light that would have been better left buried, and powers emerge that can hardly be restrained. Forged anew in the fire of revenge, unstoppable and implacable, this new champion marches toward an uncertain destiny. This world has not yet known true darkness – but that will soon change. Welcome to the edge of the unknown.
