Children of Fire
by Drew Karpyshyn is out now (Del Rey £16.99).
“Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent
in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods
gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring,
and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning
him from saviour to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the
gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle
against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were
lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy — a magical barrier the gods
sacrificed themselves to create.
Now the Legacy is fading. On the other side, the banished
Daemron stirs. And across the scattered corners of the land, four children are
born of suffering and strife, each touched by one aspect of Daemron himself — wizard,
warrior, prophet, king. Bound by a connection deeper than blood, the Children
of Fire will either restore the Legacy or bring it crashing down, freeing
Daemron to wreak his vengeance upon the mortal world.”
