Epic in scope and thrilling in detail, Mortal Suns is set in the corridors of power in the mythical kingdom of Akhemony, which recalls the world of Ancient Greece. Acclaimed author Tanith Lee transports her readers to an ominous yet seductive alternate universe, where fate arganises the forces of nature to bring ruin to those who dare to control it. Horrible screams pierce the night as Daystar, The queen of Akhemony, wrestles with the delivery of the king's child, beautifully formed except for its lack of feet. Cast away, the child returns later in life to reclaim the throne.
