The second in the Wolves of Joy trilogy. The Emperor Maximillian's trail of conquest spans four continents, while around him gather clouds of war. But can he free himself from the shadow of past lives and recurring destinies? "The best work of dystopian fiction that I have read for many years." - Troy Southgate, Black Front Press "I recommend that you read this book, put it down for a day or two while you think about it, and then re-read it, and as you read it this second time, go beyond it, as far as you can go-plumb the depths of everything you can regarding the symbols, the signs, the hints, the allusions." - Juleigh Howard-Hobson, Counter-Currents.
