The Shifting Lands: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Behold the power of Chimor!

Silluka, Ichu, Cosquella and the other refugees from their destroyed village have discovered the world is much bigger than they thought. Now they scrape by in Chimor, a huge city populated by multiple species, gods, and magic.

But all is not well. Ichu has been tainted by the mysterious god of the Eztli Mecatl, and his magic no longer works as it should. Elder Quilqi pushes Silluka to hone her intent before she’s ready, in order to test for Mental Adept, then fight in the Chimor arena. And Lugopo is channeling ever stranger inventions from their eldritch gods…

But even the might of Chimor itself is challenged when the invading turtlemen arrive across the desert. The shifting lands are coming together, and the gods vie through victories in Chimor’s arena for which species has the right to rule. To even hope for survival, Silluka must learn Intent Magic.
