Il Sangue della Veggente
by Lisa Bilotti
The dawn of the world has just dawned and men and gods tread the same earth. The People survive the darkness and the light, which alternate for long periods. Mord is the chosen one, the Guide to whom the Gods have bestowed the Mark. But his authority is challenged when a secret kept silent for too long comes to light. While the People are divided, war looms. The People are not alone. The danger comes from the sea, with massive ships and iron weapons; they kill, pillage, and plunder. The Seer, the one in contact with the Gods, is snatched from the village. So men unite again and the gods reclaim their power. War, blood, wonders, warnings. The People yearn for revenge and seek retribution from the invader. Without mercy, a battle breaks out between heaven and earth.
