Summary
First in the Tide Lords series, this complex saga, like
Fallon's earlier Hythrun Chronicles, intertwines several
vividly realized plots. One follows Arkady Desean, the Ice
Duchess of Lebec and a scholar of ancient Amyranthan lore, as
she interrogates Cayal, a hanged man who inexplicably did not
die. She soon encounters legends of the immortal Tide Lords
who created the human-animal hybrid slaves called the
Crasii—canines to serve, felines to fight, amphibians
to pull watercraft—and a thousand years earlier caused
the Cataclysm that nearly destroyed the world. Arkady's
husband, Duke Stellan, guards his own deadly secret as he
maneuvers through palace intrigues and inter-kingdom clashes.
Royal spymaster Declan Hawkes secretly aids renegade Crasii
and preserves the Cabal, humanity's only protection from the
Tide Lords. With snappy dialogue and deft characterizations,
especially of her sympathetically drawn canine Crasii, Fallon
neatly pulls the story threads together into a multihued
tapestry of myth, deceit and ambition.

"Fallon begins her latest epic asking the question of how
an immortal, tired of immortality, might find his way to
death? With her vivid style and snappy dialogue, Fallon
embarks on a rollercoaster ride of mortal and immortal
machinations, as the ruthless and immoral Tide Lords emerge
from a thousand years of hiding into a world where everyone
has attributed the stories of their existence to myth.
Everyone, that is, but the mysterious and secretive Cabal,
who watch and wait in the shadows, searching for a way to
protect humanity from the Tide Lords’ return."--
