Produktbeschreibung
I am the whisperer and the words I speak echo within you. I am the whisperer and my words do not fade, they endure to the end. Everything changed when the high priest defied the dark spirit Vatu. One man split into two, now one is a ghost and the other is free. But while Utas, the high priest, is released from his shackles, Vatu still commands the world, the Sun, and the twelve priests below him. Alaba, the girl who shines like the moon, is alive and in danger. A heretic priest, follower of the Author of All Things, sends her away from the Valley of the Sun for her safety, only for her and her caretakers to be captured by bandits. They make a reluctant home among the bandits, but even in this village of outcasts, rivalries and secrets threaten their safety and their lives. While the other priests of Vatu set out on their own dark quests, famine spreads across the dark lands. Hunger turns to desperation and war looms over the struggle for what little food remains. Utas finds purpose when he finally reunites with his daughter, but how can he keep her safe when death closes in on all sides?
Autorenporträt
David Rae lives in Scotland and grew up in a world where hordes of workers spill out of factories, a world where fog and smoke shroud all kinds of creatures, a world where ruined castles, factories and houses are haunted by ghosts, gangs and memories. He lives in a world where witches have been burned at the cross and martyrs have been hung on the Gallowgreen. Since a child, he has tried to capture that world in words, poems, and stories. He has read every trashy novel, every children's book and every comic that came his way. Thank God for public libraries. He studied Botany, Architecture, Mathematics, Computers, Geography, and Ecology. He worked in a candy factory (not as an Oompa-Loompa), as a scaffolder and ditch digger. He has worked as a draftsman and as an ecologist, as a statistician and as a policy maker. He is married and has four lovely children and now lovely grandchildren. And he continues to read and to write and marvel at the world he lives in.
