The Destiny of Amalah

Eleven of the twelve Gods’ have forbidden intervention in human affairs, prohibiting all Gods’ and the Timekeeper from altering the timeline. Exiled God Salwar is doing his utmost to force them into reversing that decree.

Orphaned at fifteen, the sorceress Amara is bound to honour her father’s wishes and accept her crown as Empress of the nine nations. Adriel, a misanthropic sorcerer, has aligned himself with the exiled god and has vowed to destroy the newly crowned Empress and tear asunder the nine nations starting with the nation of Amalah.

Over the years Adriel infiltrates the Empress’s inner circle of family and friends. Rakan, son of the Guard Commander, is seduced by the allure of power and challenges the Empress for her throne; orchestrating shocking betrayals and creating a new and seemingly invincible dark army. The power struggle culminates in a war that rages on, causing nations to fall, and Amara and her loved ones to sustain immeasurable losses. As the final battle commences, it is clear to the Empress that magical and traditional military tactics must be used if they wish to prevail.

Will Empress Amara and her Guards be victorious, or will Rakan and his army bestow a terrible fate on the nations and destroy them, force the Gods to intervene?

“In this wonderfully inventive, epic fantasy, Thandi Ryan has created a world of magic and warfare not seen for a long time. It’s a stunning piece of work and we can’t wait to get to grips with Book Two. This book is very highly recommended.”
