![]() ![]() ![]() ”So much better than other novels in its field that I believe it will in time become a favourite classic among readers of science fantasy.” – Michael Moorcock Would the Empire fall?

Could a poet, a braggart and a heroic dwarf halt the irresistible flow of Time and save the Empire from a destiny worse than barbarism.? ![]() He travelled and fought among the wasted deserts and dreaming marshes of Viriconium, only to find that the War of the Two Queens was merely a prelude to a vaster and more dangerous conflict. Tegeus-Cromis, the moody, introvert Lord of the Methven, left his seashore retreat to fight for the Young Queen against the barbaric hordes of the Old.
