The Other Lands (The War with the Mein)

The apocalyptic struggle against the conquering Mein has ended and a victorious Corinn Akaran reigns over the Acacian Empire of the Known World. Bolstered by her growing mastery of the forbidding, sorcerous powers contained in the Book of Elenet, she rules with an iron hand. But rebuilding a war-weary empire is not easy. Disturbing news reaches the Acacian court from the mysterious Other Lands and Corinn dispatches her brother, Dariel, across the uncharted seas of the Grey Slopes as her emissary. From the moment he sets foot on that distant continent, this former brigand is caught up in a web of ancient rivalries, resentments, intro and treachery. His arrival ignites a firestorm that threatens the Known World with invasion once more- an invasion that will surely dwarf anything his homeland had yet faced. And so, it seems, the well turns again and a new cycle of world-shattering events begins. In this dazzling, expectation-defying sequel to Acacia: The War With the Mein , David Anthony Durham confirms his place as a new master of epic fantasy.
