Publisher's Synopsis
James Stone is a wanted man; a tsar wants to meet him, the Rickobites want to worship him and even the White Hussars want him to join their ranks. Faced with impossible alternatives, his time at the University of Rhyton is drawing to a close. But where can he go? His real identity is known and 'Orillion Vespertine' will have to move on if he's to avoid arrest, torture or even death at the hands of forces that believe he's a danger to the status quo. His comfortable existence at the House of a Thousand Hours must come to end but without the link to Panadawn, he cannot return home to Earth. This is the first book in the third series - also available in an omnibus edition
