Tyrant Moon

It is the late Bronze Age of another world. Iron is unknown, only barbarians ride horses, and the stirrup will not be invented for centuries. To the north, the nomadic Skald roam the treeless steppes with their vast herds, while in the sub-tropical south the first dreams of Empire begin to be fulfilled. Thraxis was once the most powerful of the Athraskani wizards, before the rogue mage Balthazar cast a death curse upon him. Now any use of magic only speeds the progression of the curse that is devouring his life. The Arrow that Flies the Farthest was the Champion of her clan, until the coming of Balthazar plunged them into the madness of warfare. Her only hope of stopping the war lies with the dying Thraxis, who alone knows how to destroy the jewel that gives Balthazar his power. Together, Athraskani mage and barbarian warrior must begin an incredible journey that will take them from the civilized bounds of the Empire to the wild steppes of the Skald. But can a man sworn to do no harm and a woman born to kill find the common ground to defeat their enemy…before time runs out for them both?
