And out of the mayhem the Lords will arise!
Trace: a country where magic is dying out. A country at war with itself. A country where the prophecies of the Book of the World have started to come true.
Bligh: a young foreigner, drawn irresistibly to the war in Trace. A man who has rejected religion, yet appears to be possessed by one of the six Lords Elemental.
Bligh thinks he's going mad, but if he is then it's a madness shared by others...
"A first-class novel of character."
- Nexus (on Expatria Incorporated)
"Brilliantly shows a world in which religious belief is used to secular advantage."
- The Times (on Expatria Incorporated)
"It has been several years since a first novel has grabbed me the way Keith Brooke's Keepers of the Peace did."
- Locus
"A significant member of the 'Britpack' group, the generation of writers - also including Iain M Banks, Paul J McAuley, Ian McDonald and Stephen Baxter - who, in the late 80s and early 90s, hauled British SF out of its long post-New Wave slump."
