In Tethesta, the laws of the universe no longer operate. Human emotions can turn shiny like glass and as hard and resistant as rock. Fear and pain can create an impenetrable wall, standing in the middle of a forest, advancing out of it across the plain and threatening to overwhelm the world.
The souls of men are controlled by a single consciousness, a single selfishness who seeks to become a God, and despises the other human beings of whom his world is formed. For Lithran, a frightened Isolate , trapped in the prison of King Kosmion s will and forced to imagine everything that he most hates and dreads, there seems for a long time no escape; for what escape can there be from a power which can enter the very minds of men to direct them from within. Yet the more absolute the power, the more glaring its weakness. Kosmion, Lord of the World, may at last be defeated - or rather half defeated.
The Soul Master is an exciting and intriguing tale. Its pages ring with the sounds of swords, battles, music and difficult loving. Through them simple unmagical men and women seek to overcome black sorcery, the sorcery of Power.
Genre: Literary Fiction
