Once human but now immortal, Supreme Commander Lord Tanaros fled the realm of Men and chose darkness when he killed his adulterous wife and his liege king who cuckholded him. A thousand years have passed in service to his master, the dark god Satoris. The world view Satoris as Evil Prime and the name of Tanaros is the byword for treachery. The races have united in their quest to rid the world of the Dark God and his minions. The key to the prophecy is the beautiful Elvish princess Cerelinde-and Satoris has captured her. Yet not all tales told are true and evil may have another face. Satoris refuses to act like the monster that he is made out to be for he recognizes in Cerelinde a spark of the love that he once bore for his fellow gods. But this spark of light might prove to be a danger to Satoris....and a greater danger for Tanaros and all that he holds dear. For Cerelinde might remind him that the heart that he willed to iron an eon ago is still very much mortal. 1844694 2005 Godslayer (The Sundering, #2) total:426|5:89|4:144|3:118|2:60|1:15| 426 1510 680 29 4 1 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Aug 30 20:00:34 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 30 20:00:52 -0700 2007 Banewreaker.

If you hear "Jacqueline Carey" and think Kushiel's Dart, you may be mighty tempted to pick up this series based on that.

This book is the companion to Banewreaker, which I've already reviewed; I'd really recommend reading that review first.
