Publisher's Synopsis
Kethendar spent the last several thousand years bound beneath the sands of an ancient desert. Now that he's awake, he's eager to bring his old plans to fruition. And with his siblings absent, the world is ripe for his manipulation.
Fate seems to smile on Kethendar when he discovers an invorash soul - a rare and powerful individual capable of performing miracles. If Kethendar can seduce this soul to his cult, it would advance his plan by years.
But this new world isn't the haven Kethendar hoped.
Onyx, his Harbinger, and Eldantis, his high priest, are still locked in unrelenting competition for Kethendar's favor - no matter how much he splits his attention between them. Each is determined to deliver the invorash soul to cement their place as Kethendar's favorite.
But the invorash soul's deepest desire is anathema to Kethendar's aspects, making it nearly impossible for them to bond and putting his supremacy at risk. Especially since there are signs Kethendar might not have been the only old god to survive their civilization's fall after all.
Will a month turn thousands of years of planning on its head?
This book contains chapters 6-10 of the Forgotten Pleasures series (Kethendar's Pillars, Invorash, Fate or Fortune, The Mysterious Mister R and Keeper of Light), previously published separately.
