An exile is in trouble with the gods in this SF novel by the bestselling writer LE Modesitt, Jr, now back in a new edition from Tor.
After finding out that he has unusual powers, Martin Martel is banished from the planet Karnak. Martin is thrust into the tranquil world of Aurore, vacation paradise for the galaxy. There he finds that the reality of Aurore is much different from its serene veneer. The gods are wantonly cruel and indifferent to the chaos they cause: are they really gods or just men and women with larger-than-life powers? Whatever the answer, Martin Martel must challenge their supremacy to defend his life, love, and the fate of all mankind.
