The Memory

by Gerrard Cowan

The time of Ruin has come. The meaning of the Prophecy is becoming clear at last: if Ruin cannot be stopped, all of memory will transform into nightmare. In the tunnels of the Underland, a place of phantoms, monsters, and creatures of god-like power, Aranfal and Brandione are drawn into the game to end all games – a desperate search for the very first memory – while Canning and Drayn grapple with both ancient adversaries and their own abilities. Hunting for a way to destroy Ruin, Brightling journeys into the heart of the Machinery. As she descends, though, she discovers that Ruin is already more powerful than anyone could have imagined. The future – and the past – of the Overland will be reshaped as Gerrard Cowan’s mesmerizing epic of power, magic, and memory reaches its finale.

Reviews

[Dianne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Chaos, complete chaos of thought, and the future hangs in the balance of the past. This is it, the Prophecy has been understood, dark, ominous and terrifying. If Aranfal cannot stop Ruin, all of memory will become a living Hell. But how does one find the one memory that can save the world?

Its game on through a jungle of phantoms, mis-memories and monsters as Gerrard Cowan puts a wrap on this trilogy with THE MEMORY. The machinery has broken down, or has it been altered by Ruin’s growing powers?

This is it, humanity, the pawns in a game of destruction and corruption are on the losing side, unless one last multi-pronged quest is fulfilled and THE MEMORY that is lost, is found.

Hardcore, fantasy realms filled with multiple webs of intrigue and a cast of divergent characters reappearing and redefining themselves, will have readers hanging on to every word. Gerrard Cowan’s wicked imagination skills and his power to create a world of entangled plots and subplots is a total escape from reality! Not for the faint of heart, this trilogy is for staunch fantasy lovers!
