Full Review: Thousands of years ago, the Kencyrs have been drafted against their will by their monotheistic god into a war to save the Chain of Creation against the ultimate corrupter, Perimal Darkling. So far, the war has not been going well, and the Kencyrs have abandoned world after world to the onslaught of darkness. Tired and embittered by the struggle, a few centuries ago many of their leaders have turned to Perimal in a horrible and bloody betrayal of their kin.
Ever since then, the remaining Kencyrath has embraced rigid laws of honor and propriety as their struggle turned fratricidal. They also view all aristocrats with suspicion and fear.
It is preceded by Dark of the Moon.
It may be difficult to find, possibly the only source is Hypatia Press.
