Synopsis

Two friends, far from home...

A hostile city, beautiful and dangerous...

A plot to bring down the throne…

The year is 297 and the first great empire of men, the Sarassan Empire is ruled by the iron fist of the Emperor the fiery power of the sorcerous Majei. Yet for all its dominance, the empire is haunted by the spectre of separation.

Silyon, the imperial capital, is a city under siege. Eighteen months ago, the phantom Marava and his separatists struck at the imperial government and murdered the Emperor’s wife. Now, as the attacks begin again, it’s clear the phantom is eager to complete his separatist agenda.

To the Emperor’s nephew (Prince Nathan) and his squire Justin visiting from the distant shores of Tempyra, Silyon appears to be a land of unparalleled beauty and opportunity. However, beneath the surface, that beauty is only veneer thin…

Threatened by separatists, their state visit soon descends into a fight for survival, and in the chaos that follows, it is unclear if it is a fight they can win or one they can even hope to survive. For buried deep within the tangled web of deceit and treachery there lies a shocking truth, a truth with the power to tear down the foundations of the world around them.

Join Nathan and Justin for an action-packed fantasy adventure set against a backdrop of imperial power.

The Spectre of Separation is the first instalment of Simon F. Hopes’ Sarassan Fantasy Saga.
