'You need to leave,' Ayae said, releasing the table, her anger strengthening her resolve as she walked to the door. 'I don't appreciate being followed. I don't appreciate you thinking you have a right to come in here uninvited.'
Unconcerned, he ran his hands across the glass.
'I said-'
'I heard you.' He turned to her. 'Don't you feel uncomfortable here?'
The table began to smoke, as if deep in its frame there was a flame, a single spark that was struggling to get out. With his hard, grey eyes holding her gaze, the oh-so-ordinary-looking man who was clearly not so ordinary left the table.
Ayae whispered, 'Who are you?'
'I have no name,' he said softly, his pale hand closing around her arm-
Her free hand slammed heel first into his chest.It was a desperate blow, but it caught him off guard and caused him to stagger back. Yet he did not release her. Quickly, Ayae drove her foot down onto his. The man made no sound and fear threaded through her unlike any she had held before. Behind her, the wood in the table ignited, and flames began to rush along the edges, spreading like burning pitch across broken tiles.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: Very Good. THE GODS HAVE FALLEN BUT THEIR POWERS LIVE ON . . . Fifteen thousand years after the War of the Gods and their corpses now lie scattered across the world, slowly dying as men and women awake with strange powers that are derived from their bodies. While some see these powers as a gift - most call them a curse. When Ayae - a young cartographer's apprentice in the city of Mireea - is trapped in a burning building, she is terrified as a dormant power comes to life within her. The flames destroy everything around her but she remains unscathed - fire cannot touch her. This curse makes her a target for the army marching on her home - an army determined to reclaim the body of the god Ger, who lies dying beneath the city, and harness his power for themselves. Zaifyr, a man adorned in ancient charms, also arrives in Mireea. His arrival draws the attention of two of the 'children of the gods', Fo and Bau, powerful, centuries-old beings who consider themselves immortal. All three will offer different visions for Ayae's powers - and whatever choice she makes will result in new enemies. Meanwhile, as the army approaches ever closer to Mireea, the saboteur Bueralan and Dark, his mercenary group, look to infiltrate and learn its weaknesses. Alone in a humid, dangerous land, they find themselves witness to rites so appalling they realize it would take the Gods themselves to halt the enemy's attack - and even they may not be enough.
