Summary
A New Kencyrath Novel! Jamethiel Knorth, Priest's Bane and Dream-Weaver, has
returned victorious from Tai-tastigon, but trouble dogs the
Kencyrath. There is intrigue among the Highborn. The Randir and his
allies want the larger houses to decide for all nine, which
would strip the Highlordship from the Knorth. At Omiroth, a
senile king struggles against his venal son-in-law—but
if neither of these can rule, the next in line is a
mother-dominated child. Kindrie Soul-Walker is captured and
thrown in a secret dungeon, a political prisoner. And a
Kendar administrator, dissatisfied with the use that Jame is
making of the gates, schemes against her, and then against
her house and her brother, Torisen Black Lord, Highlord of
the Kencyrath. While Tori defends Gothregor and Kindrie rots a secret
captive, Jame rides south to Bashti. Here she confronts an
unready and presumptuous heir, a withholding and manipulative
paymaster, and invisible assassins. Her formal errand,
meanwhile, is to compete in martial games with secret
stakes—which she fears are a cloak for a massacre, or
worse.
About Deathless Gods:
About The Gates of Tagmeth: "The Kencyr live in one of the most deeply realized worlds
in fantasy, a rich and complicated space that includes many
cultures and riveting, three-dimensional characters. Full of
dark wonder, wry humor, and the quirks of Jame’s
inimitable personality, the newest installment in
Hodgell’s life’s work demonstrates why it can be
worthwhile for a writer to spend 40 years writing the same
series."—Publishers Weekly
