Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. Four thousand were carried into the golden city. Forty four years later, when they were finally allowed to go home, two out of every three chose to stay.Adiel is nineteen when the barges carry him into Ardennum, and the first thing that frightens him is the bread.The greatest city on Tessara does not enslave the Bound. It feeds them. It gives them clean water, fair courts, open schools, houses with doors that shut, and a name a clerk can spell. In forty four years not one of them is beaten and not one child dies for want of water.That is the point.Veyl has spent four centuries trying to cut the promised line by force, and it has survived a famine, a sword, a court intrigue and two plagues. So he stops trying to break the Promise. He begins, instead, to wait for someone to put it down.When a foreign decree finally opens the road home, the ones who stay are not cowards, and every reason they give is true. The ones who walk the eight hundred miles back find a burnt hill, a squatters' town, and the strength to build a house of the Maker that is smaller than the book says it should be. Then sixteen years are lost to a clerk's spelling error. Then the last voice on the platform falls silent, and nobody notices for eleven years.What follows is four hundred years in which nothing is said to anybody at all, and fourteen entirely ordinary people keep a chest under a cloth without ever once being told why.Veyl walks the board and finds no throne, no prophet, no army, no claimant and no voice. He concludes that the game is finished.He is standing eleven paces from the piece.Book Five of The Great Chess Master. A story about faithfulness when nothing is happening, about the people who stayed behind, and about what a promise costs the generation that will not live to see it kept. Complete in itself, and richer alongside the four volumes before it. This item is printed on demand.
