In the bleak industrial city of Zoelon, they burn witches on Wintertide's Eve while in the east a dark and insatiable power is stirring and growing stronger. It is a dangerous world where religion and magic and indistinguishable and those with powers are both persecuted and revered. Alix Reste is possessed with powers he can neither control nor understand. When he is forced to flee Zoelon, he sets out on a journey of discovery to find out who he is and where his strange powers come from. His journey takes him from the bleak industrial north right into the heart of the enemy's lair. Accompanied by his friends, the rebellious rich girl, Altair and the troubled immortal, Midnight, he discovers a world full of ancient grudges, betrayal and false prophets where no one, least of Alix, is quite what they seem. Alix will follow the mysterious enteri to the city of Haith where he finds himself immersed in the household of Havgard, a powerful magician, and where he realises that he must face the harrowing events of his own past. And then on to the ancient city of Gel-Terridar, where the enteri Nightshade, has been planning for centuries for the events that will lead up to the Fourth Cleansing. Immanion Press is proud to present in omnibus form Fiona McGavin's ground-breaking fantasy trilogy, incorporating 'A Dark God Laughing', 'Dreams of Drowning' and 'The Fourth Cleansing'
