Description

Searching for his stolen past in the Dying Earth.

He calls himself Farouche, after a character from legend, but his reality is that his memories and identity were stolen from him by a secret enemy.

In a far-future world of wizards and walled cities, he finds himself trailing a wealthy merchant’s caravan across a dusty plain.  Possessed of a soldier’s skills, he hires on with the merchant and begins to build a life.  But his efforts to discover his past reveal a dark prospect:  was he a participant in a notorious massacre of innocents?

Will Farouche come to know the truth?  Will he survive the journey across a lawless land to the remote city of Olliphract, ruled by half-mad thaumaturges?  And when he finally lays bare the plot in which he has been ensnared, will it be too late?

Matthew Hughes delivers another dark fantastical adventure set in a decadent Dying Earth, where men and half-men and even the gods themselves contend for earthly power and unearthly prizes.
