The Chosen

Desperate to join his wounded father at the court of the God Emperor, Carnelian puts himself in the power of his enemy. Loneliness leads him to discover a secret lover. Amidst the glittering, predatory glory of the sacred election—as the Great, the Wise and the dowager Empress struggle for dominance—can the young lovers avoid becoming its victims?

The Chosen is volume 2 of 7 of The Stone Dance of the Chameleon—a coming of age story—a saga of love and war—an apocalyptic, epic, fantasy adventure about power and redemption.

(This Second Edition is a leaner and extensive reworking of the acclaimed original.)
