Description
Nikodemos, Tempus's partner and member of the Sacred Band of Stepsons, falls out of the sky in a rain of fish and into a young girl's arms. So begins the City at the Edge of Time, the only Sacred Band of Stepsons novel focused on Niko, Tempus's partner, over whom gods and numinous powers contest in this stand-alone adventure that is, none the less, Book 5 in the Sacred Band of Stepsons series. In this Stepsons adventure, a princess of the City falls in love with Niko and all hell breaks loose as, separated from Tempus, the young fighter must become an avatar of the god Enlil, or lose his life in a test no man can survive. Gentler than some of the books in this series, City at the Edge of Time is charming, sexy, and mystical. This is a pivotal Sacred Band of Stepsons novel and one long-awaited by fans of Niko, Tempus's young partner, in this satisfying and mythic tale of honor tested and evil run amok.
First Sentence
The city crouched like a thirsty lion on the rock-strewn coast of Memory, as if it had always been there.
