Product Description
Product Description
Since time began, twenty Gods have ruled the universe. Though each god possessed different abilities, each was all-powerful within his realm. Now one of the Gods has upset the balance of power, leaving the others scrambling for control in the new order...
Here is the epic tale of the Great War of the Gods--and the proud people upon whom the fate of the world depends. When the God of the desert, Akhran the Wanderer, declares that two clans must band together despite their centuries-old rivalry, their first response is outrage. But they are a devout people and so reluctantly bow to his bidding.
Enemies from birth, the headstrong Prince Khardan and impetuous Princess Zohra must unite in marriage to stop Quar, the God of Reality, Greed, and Law, from enslaving their people.
But can Khardan and Zohra keep from betraying each other? Can their two peoples maintain their fragile alliance until the long-awaited flowering of the legendary Rose of the Prophet?
Against the powerful legions of the evil Amir, Khardan and Zohra fight to save the desert people--a fight unexpectedly joined by an exiled wizard named Matthew and the mysterious powers of his alien land.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I found this book to be very good but very slow at the same time. Being the first book in a series, it tended to have a lot of character development. Although it picks up towards the end it isn't quite up to the same level as some of the authors other works i.e...Dragonlanc Chronicles. The plot involves several main characters who all have serious flaws in their very human personalities. While i appreciated this more real envisionment of the proposed "heroes" it also seemed to repel my interest being that there are no particularly likeable characters. The palet for this story is the background of a hostile desert with nomadic camel riding tribes and scimitars. If you make your way through this volume i am sure that the next will satiate you.

This series is really well written. It pulls you in, yells at you and than slowly throws you to the desert :) ... a must read in my book collection.
