Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A young woman with amnesia is abducted by a cult of assassins. After executing a methodical multi-step plan to infiltrate the impregnable Sanctum, they take her through a dying world back to a home she's forgotten. The man she is in love with chases after her into the menacing Labyrinth of Lands, with little more than a lightning rifle and a prayer. He's not accursed like his assassin adversaries. He cannot spirit rush to temporarily become superhuman. He is not tortured by a curse that he can wield against his enemies. And the only blessings that can protect him are the ones his accursed friends grant him. He is outmatched, outnumbered, and outgunned. But, so was he the last time. The journey to save Scarlett takes place in a supernaturally infused world where people drive flying boats, guns shoot lightning, and rubbing your skin and clothes with Presto Powder can substitute a shower. Accursed are the servants of the various gods who bestow blessings and curses upon those who worship them. But the accursed are viewed as monsters in the Sanctum, one of the only remaining cities in the world not consumed by the Labyrinth. The Labyrinth is why the world is dying, and why the cult of assassins has come for Scarlett. They need her to remember who she truly is so she can help them eliminate the accursed responsible for the spread of the Labyrinth. But. what can be believed? The blessings of accursed are powered by faith, and their curses by their will. Intelligent accursed know how to manipulate the thoughts and emotions of others in order to turn their minds against them, to deadly effect. It is said: Accursed combat is a contest of faith. One must hold firm to their grasp of reality, but. in a world where curses can warp both perception and reality, what can be believed? Going up against a rogue's gallery of accursed assassins, including the one he unwittingly rescues before their assault, Griffin chooses to believe in mercy and compassion. He does not execute Valkyrie on the spot when she reveals herself to be a Chamber Assassin, and not because of her compelling claim that she is a runaway like Scarlett. He wants to give her a chance to choose a different path. He wants to put the blessing of Scarlett's new god to the test. He wants to see if he, too, should serve the King Immaculan. But that may just be what the Chamber is counting on. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
