City of Strife is the third book in The Realms of Glaith series, one where the science-fiction of steampunk fuses seamlessly with magic-infused fantasy. The result is a tumultuous world filled with alchemical wonders, impossible technology, daring rebels, noble wizards, ruthless witches, ominous plots, myths made reality, and a host of monsters both human and otherwise - all things that will have to be faced by a varied cast of heroes as they find themselves drawn into a string of perilous, action-packed adventures. Gedanya.
Its name meaning
City of Kings in the ancient Yelgen tongue, the grand metropolis has defined northern Erice since before the Ruination. It expanded throughout the Reign of the Wretched, grew rich during the rule of the Golden Empire, and emerged from the Blight Wars as capital of Yelgemar. It has played a part in countless events responsible for shaping the realm, and endured even more. None, however, could prepare it for what is to happen next.
After passing over the Skywall one final time, Jath, Kalda, Rehya, and Rhece were returned by their dragon allies to Gedanya - alive, but burdened by their exploits in the North. Not one of the four knew what to expect when they landed.
Not one of the four would have thought what followed was possible.
Shard-changing upheaval.
Dark plots laid bare.
