Opis

The Carnelian Throne is Volume 4 in Janet Morris' bestselling Silistra Quartet. Still controversial after five decades, this Perseid Press edition has been expanded and revised by the author.

Estri is a god, daughter of light.
Chayin is a god, son of darkness.
Sereth is 'hase-enor, ' son of all flesh.
Lovers and friends, could they be the prophesied three who would wield the Sword of Severance, Se'Keroth, and bring light out of dark?

-One from the east, born of ease and destined; One from north of south, divine, exempt of question; The third from out the west, astride a tide of death, - quoted Chayin. He was not smiling. It is a long epic. All has been foreseen. We all know that tale's end.- -- Estri Hadrath diet Estrazi in Wind from the Abyss by Janet Morris

With a dangerously low birth-rate, it's not long before the human colonists of Silistra develop a new social order, with a hierarchy based on fertility and sexual prowess.
