Remnant - K. R. Solberg

. .

Résumé :
When an immortal dies no one mourns but people notice. The shocking death of an immortal sends Collector Mavell, a master of shadows, on a quest for the killer. He believes a foreseer of Drawlen, a religious regime, knows something about the murder. Jon Therman and his family of sunrock smugglers stumble into this manhunt. A former slave, he only desires to live unnoticed and to avoid the corruption of the world. But when a Drawlen immortal pursues his children, Jon retaliates. Jon's daughter, Ella, attempts to rescue her friend from a ritual sacrifice. To do so, she must defy the commands of her fellow smugglers. Shane zem'Arta, a Freelander spy, searches for his missing commander. His orders complicate Ella's effort to save her friend and Jon's mission to protect his family, leading these old friends on a perilous adventure. Smugglers, rogues, and lords clamber to stand against the Drawlen immortals. Can these fragile factions set aside their mistrust to survive a burgeoning war, or will they fall divided? Remnant, the first of the four-volume epic fantasy The Palimar Saga, introduces a world of magic, trolls, shapeshifters, and guns. It tells the story of a family's struggle to survive a manhunt for a godkiller, one who has the power to vanquish immortals. ---------------- Fantasy readers will be enraptured by Remnant, the first installment of K. R. Solberg & C. R. Jacobson's The Palimar Saga, a gripping epic filled with magic, intrigue, and high-stakes adventure.
