The Path of Thirteen Steps

The Fourth Age of Shanakan #6

by Tim Stead

Cal Serhan is dead. Or he should be. His friends mourn his passing and his shattered body has been burned at White Rock.

But Cal finds himself in another body, in another world, a world without magic. It has people, though, billions of them, and the city he finds himself in is called London. There are dangers here. He discovers that this new world is a prison. The Fae are the prisoners and will sell him out for the slightest advantage. The Ekloi are the wardens and they want him dead.

To survive he must use his unique talents to learn the secrets of the Ekloi and win allies among humans and Fae.

To find his way home Cal must plot and scheme against the might of an empire that controls thousands of worlds . If he fails he will die. Again.
