If all that is good thinks you evil.... are you?Once upon a time, the Seven Shapers dwelled in accord and Shaped the world to their will. But Satoris, the youngest among them, was deemed too generous in his gifts to the race of Men, and so began the Shapers' War, which Sundered the world. Now six of the Shapers lay to one end of a vast ocean, and Satoris to the other, reviled by even the race of Men.Satoris sits in his Darkhaven, surrounded by his allies. Chief among them is Tanaros Blacksword, immortal Commander General of his army. Once a mortal man who was betrayed by King and Wife, Tanaros fled to Darkhaven a thousand years ago, and in Satoris's service has redeemed his honor-but left his humanity behind.Now there is a new prophecy that tells of Satoris's destruction and the redemption of the world. To thwart it, Satoris sends Tanaros to capture the Lady of the Ellylon, the beautiful Cerelinde, to prevent her alliance with the last High King of Men. But Tanaros discovers that not all of his heart has been lost--his feelings for Cerelinde could doom Satoris, but save the race of Men....

    "Exhilarating epic war of the gods fantasy" The Seven Shapers worked in harmonious unity using the power of the Souma to shape the world and its races to their images. After a time the eldest Haomane did not like what he observed; he felt his brother ... (read full critics)

  • Evil seen as the changing agent, good as straight backed bigot...evil acts as necessities...it's a bit of a stretch but an enjoyable reading nonetheless, along with its companiom book Godslayer

    Too "lord-of-the-ringish" for my taste and Tolkien has already said everything there is to say about top quality literature. Boring beyond imagination: a quest, a fellowship, a bearer - not of a ring but of water -, good against evil, elves, the challenge of improbable love. Reading through some 400 pages has been painful and I don't think I'll read anything further of this saga by J. Carey. By the way, I still have to read two books of the Kushiel's story and I do hope they are better than this...
