Esztergom: First and Second Khotan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798887574547)

Esztergom was the mountain, the fortress city that clung to its rocky sides, and the realm that fell within its shadow.

Ruled by the Ban, supplicant to the Vallas, the pantheon of gods that have dominion over their world, ever watchful of the war like Sur, the cursed Anartes, and the god-touched Tuden Esztergom has endured for over a millennium.

Ten seasons ago, allied with the Tuden, they warred against the cursed Anartes and Sabine, the White Queen, a powerful witch intent on destroying the gods and freeing the world from their reign. In the shadows of the northern mountains, Sabine was defeated.

The world settled into its former ways.

When Merek, the Ground Steward of Esztergom, visits the orphanage of Malmock to bring new woodrunners to the castle, he sets in motion a series of events that could bring the end to not only the three realms but the very gods themselves.

What happens to a god when a god dies?
