Effigies of Faith - Brian C Kershner - Bog

The greatest threat to the rule of the Creator has been loosed upon the face of Espre; Dorovar is free from his prison. His Heralds walk the face of Espre with impunity, killing indiscriminately, adding ever more voices to the Chorus of Souls that Dorovar believes will lift him to the Heavens and overthrow the Creator. Robbed of two of his Servants, the Creator strikes back against all those who would rise up against Him, including his treacherous Children. However, not all have the stomach for the continuing war, and heroes of old seek to break the cycle of violence by stepping away from the conflict and passing their burden to a new generation of heroes. Meanwhile, Aerith Seth begins his inevitable collision course with Dorovar, rallying unexpected allies to his side, and making new enemies along the way. Kaitain Lorien, the deranged Emperor of Cadaria has declared worship of the Creator to be illegal, and is determined to be the only deity for the people of his fragmented empire. Who will save the faithful and the faithless alike from the wrath of forces they cannot hope to understand? Will more heroes of old abandon their righteous path and lose faith in their appointed mission? Who will champion the cause of the light against the encroaching darkness? Beliefs are tested and new temptations rise in The Quietus of Fate: Effigies of Faith.
