Elijah Stepanovich: The Heir of Ash and Thunder, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

He spent fifteen years trying to forget the gods. Now, an empire is rising to erase them, and a mysterious woman has arrived to make him remember.

Professor Ilija Dragovic has built a quiet life on a foundation of logic, hiding from the memory of a single, grief-stricken night when he believes the gods marked him as their own. He teaches the old myths as stories, confident they are nothing more than dust and echoes in a world that has moved on.

But a quiet war is being waged for the soul of the world. A new, shadowy empire known as the Accord is burning history and branding anyone who remembers the truth as a heretic. At the same time, Ilija's academic world is invaded by Danica Madsen, a brilliant and unnerving student who presents him with an impossible artifact-a relic that awakens a dangerous, forgotten power stirring in his blood.

Hunted by an empire that knows more about his past than he does, and haunted by visions of a love that feels more real than his own life, Ilija is forced from his quiet life into a desperate search for answers. He must unravel the secrets of the artifact, the history he can't recall, and the source of the storm sealed within his own memory before the world forgets him-and the woman who may be the key to it all-forever.

What begins as a quiet war for history becomes a continent-spanning battle for the future, where myths walk among us, ancient vows demand a bloody price, and the line between man and god is waiting to be shattered.

The first book in an epic new series, The Heir of Ash and Thunder is a must-read for fans of Slavic mythology, reincarnation romance, and sprawling urban fantasy. If you love the mythological depth of American Gods and the epic scale of The Witcher, you won't be able to put down this explosive series debut.
