The past is forgotten, but not gone.
In a time before humans dominate the world, an empire of grey-skinned, magic-wielding giants erupts into civil war. Verletzt, a bold idealist, challenges the status quo and starts a movement that struggles desperately against their brutal rulers to win freedom and lead his people to a glorious destiny. Millenia later, Kayla Freeland's prophetic sight shows her an approaching worldwide apocalypse. The devastating threat is somehow connected to an ancient weapon, hidden elemental forces and Vertletzt's long-vanished civilization. Racing against time, she assembles an expedition to delve into the past and solve the riddle of her visions before it is too late. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Legacy of Lethe is both sequel and prequel to "The Conquest of Kiynan" but can be read as a stand-alone book. The story is split across multiple viewpoint characters in two timelines, forced to navigate conflict, heartbreak, coming of age and magic. The threads are gradually woven together, leading to a single, thrilling conclusion.
