Publisher's Synopsis
When darkness and death loom over the land, one boy must discover the truth of his birth and the power creation bent itself to give him.
Born on the vernal equinox, his first breath drawn while he lay on blood-soaked soil in the mystic woods of Dunai, Andry's birth portends a destiny of heroism. His childhood begins peacefully, but when two soldiers arrive, fleeing the never-ending wars of an evil empress, everything changes.
Andry's home has at last been found by the empire, and the empress demands her due: Dunai's crops and food to feed her subjects, its men and women to fight her wars. Worst of all, the empress appoints the Mother of Kish-a sorceress whose thirst for blood and power knows no bounds-to oversee Dunai's conquest.
The Mother of Kish has her own dark designs, for she knows that the treasure of Dunai lies in its power to raise the dead, to create an eternal army capable of laying waste to all who stand against her.
Now, the fate of Dunai rests on Andry's shoulders. Will he be able to discover the truth of his birth in time to save his home?
The Son of the Deathless is the perfect read for fans of epic fantasy, Russian fairy tales, and sword-and-sorcery classics alike. If you enjoyed C.S.
