Prayers of the Fallen - Tom McNellis - Bog

The ancient menace unleashed in "On Black Winds We Rise" now threatens the entire world. In the wake of the vicious assault upon the Temple of Ra, High Priestess Faleesa the Luminous has set sail for the frozen north, seeking the mystical fortress known as Gorannon. The evil priest Usada steps further into the shadow of the sadistic old gods that envelops Aegyptus. His journey will take him beyond the kingdom where the true darkness within Pharaoh is further revealed. The black winds of hatred have drifted north to Hibernia, stirring old rivals to war. In his arrogance Longbane casts his red gaze south, eager to gain more land and resources but finds that the natives will not be easily displaced. The Broccus, a druidic tribe of new found power stand in his way. Ceana Caolaisdean, mystic of Gorannon and Cathasach Ó Gruagáin, the chieftain's youngest son, are unwillingly thrust into the middle of this burgeoning conflict, facing treachery on all sides. "Prayers of the Fallen" is the second novel in the "No Gods Before Us" series, detailing an alternate Earth where the great civilizations of the ancient world have risen simultaneously. While some share knowledge and progress in harmony others walk darker paths, dragging their people into a war between the gods.
