About the book: 2014 / The world over which the red sun dies plunges into an ice age. Refugees are flocking to Villjamur, the capital of the empire, from surrounding and distant lands, where the cold has already reigned. Apocalyptic cults flourish in the city, not disdaining the darkest magic. The emperor decided to throw off the burden of authority, and now his eldest daughter must ascend to the shaky throne of the empire. However, she has rivals, and the further it goes, the more unscrupulous the powers that be become in their means and connections. And as is usually the case, in dark and cold times all facets of human nature appear much more clearly than in bright and warm ones. Mark Charan Newton's first novel in the Legends of the Red Sun series is a romantic story full of intrigue and witchcraft, intense love and bitter jealousy, noble impulses and dark passions. A dizzying fantasy adventure.
