A New Kencyrath Novel!
Jamethiel Knorth, Priest's Bane and Dream-Weaver, has returned
victorious from Tai-tastigon, but trouble dogs the Kencyrath.
There is intrigue among the Highborn. The Randir and his allies want the
larger houses to decide for all nine, which would strip the Highlordship
from the Knorth. At Omiroth, a senile king struggles against his venal
son-in-law--but if neither of these can rule, the next in line is a
mother-dominated child. Kindrie Soul-Walker is captured and thrown in a
secret dungeon, a political prisoner. And a Kendar administrator,
dissatisfied with the use that Jame is making of the gates, schemes
against her, and then against her house and her brother, Torisen Black
Lord, Highlord of the Kencyrath.
While Tori defends Gothregor and Kindrie rots a secret captive, Jame
rides south to Bashti. Here she confronts an unready and presumptuous
heir, a withholding and manipulative paymaster, and invisible assassins.
Her formal errand, meanwhile, is to compete in martial games with secret
stakes--which she fears are a cloak for a massacre, or worse.
About Deathless Gods:
"Hodgell's intricate web requires careful reading--and extensive
knowledge of the previous books--to follow, but the author repays her
fans with a saga that flows neatly between the mythic and the mundane.
There's plenty of life left in this series." --Publishers Weekly
About The Gates of Tagmeth:
"The Kencyr live in one of the most deeply realized worlds in fantasy, a
rich and complicated space that includes many cultures and riveting,
three-dimensional characters. Full of dark wonder, wry humor, and the
quirks of Jame's inimitable personality, the newest installment in
Hodgell's life's work demonstrates why it can be worthwhile for a writer
to spend 40 years writing the same series." --Publishers Weekly

"Hodgell has crafted an . . . intricate fantasy with humor, tragedy, and
a capable and charming female hero." --Library Journal
"There's a joyful creativity to Hodgell's writing... some of the best
fantasy novels of the last 30 years." --Black Gate
