Chimaera

All resistance has been crushed. In a few minutes of overwhelming violence the Council's air-dreadnought fleet has destroyed Fiz Gorgo's defences. Xervish Flydd; Irisis and their allies have been condemned to die in a brutal aerial spectacle designed to reinforce Chief Scrutator Ghorr's power and majesty. Nish is their one remaining hope. But Nish is trapped in a burning watchtower; and hunted by both the scrutators and his former lover; Ullii; whose twin brother he accidentally killed. Before Nish can hope to rescue his friends; he must convince Ullii to spare him; then overcome the most powerful cabal of mancers in the world as well as the Council's four hundred crack guards. And even if he succeeds; to win the war the allies still have to defeat the scrutators and overthrow Nennifer; the corrupt Council's dread bastion; before the rampaging lyrinx overwhelm all Santhenar.
