Age of Myth (The Legends of the First Empire, #1)

About this book

One of fantasy's finest next-generation storytellers continues to break new ground. Age of Mythinaugurates an original five-book series. Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer; Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom; and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over. The time of rebellion has begun. Age of Myth bears the hallmark storytelling genius that we have all come to love of Michael's work. It's fast-paced, intimate, and beautifully cultivated."-- Fantasy Book Review "Age of Myth is an entertaining traditional fantasy action adventure epic with a few twists." -- SFF World "The world-building is exemplary; the characters are as diverse as any group of people can produce-the good, the foolish, the arrogant, the brave, the corrupt, the vicious, the honorable. The plot is exciting and full of energy. I loved it." -- Book Garden
