One Last Prayer (The Tapestry of the Tarnished, #0.5)

HAVE THE GODS ABANDONED US?

As doom descends on the enlightened city of Aranya, Priestess Ismena fights to keep her family and flock’s innocence. She knows not whether they will survive what is coming, but vows through this great test of faith to remain steadfast.

Denrik of the Silver Cloaks, on the other hand, is unafraid. Under the hallowed rule of his imperial masters, he knows that naught can befall the city and realm, even as the light of day is blotted out by the abomination in the sky.

Serena, daughter and heir to an ambitious family, is not nearly so staunch in her belief. For all her cynicism, though, even she cannot anticipate the hellish depths her kin might plunge to in the pursuit of survival.

Beneath the shadow of apocalypse, humanity faces its ultimate test. For when the gods are silent and the end is nigh, who can keep their faith on high?

From the #1 best selling and award winning author of The Tapestry of the Tarnished comes this prelude novella, set nearly 4,000 years prior to the events of The Winds of War.
