The world is on the brink of ruin...or is it salvation? Astaroth has been weakened, and the demon Prusias is taking full advantage of the situation to create an empire of his own. His formidable armies are on the move, and Rowan is in their sights.
Rowan must rely on Max McDaniels and David Menlo in the hope that their combined powers can stop Prusias's war machine before it's too late.
But even as these perils loom, other dangers stalk Max's every move. Someone has marked him for death, and no one is above suspicion. Should the assassins succeed, Rowan's fate may depend on little Mina, whose abilities are prodigious but largely untested.
And where is Astaroth? Has he fled this world, or is he biding his time, awaiting his next opportunity?
In the fourth book of The Tapestry, author-illustrator Henry H. Neff boldly raises the stakes in an epic tale of mankind's struggle to survive in a world populated by demons, demigods, and everything in between.

Covering espionage, disinformation, false diplomacy and even cryptography, he gives readers an education in the clandestine tools of war. Despite heavy themes, he continues to balance seriousness with a lighthearted humor that keeps the pages turning. A strong, gutsy chapter in what is already a noteworthy series." ABOUT THE AUTHORHENRY H. NEFF has been a successful business consultant in Chicago and a popular high school teacher in San Francisco. He now writes and draws full-time from his home in Brooklyn.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 1 The XebecThe harbormaster's bell rang clear and cold as the xebec slipped past the tall breakers and entered Rowan Harbor. Witch-fire burned at its prow, an oily plume of green flames that sputtered in the breeze and cast a spectral gleam on the dark swells. A dozen fishermen and smugglers scattered out of its path, coaxing their smaller vessels beyond reach of the ship's oars as it skimmed toward the main dock like a huge black dragonfly.On the cliffs above, Max McDaniels slung off his heavy pack and stopped to watch the ship's progress. Despite the predawn gloom, he could make out a weather worker on the xebec's deck. The witch was crouching near the fire like an old spider as she piloted the craft through a minefield of broken stone towers that jutted from the water.Max understood the need for caution. He was curious to see how such a ship would navigate the towers, but he was even more curious as to who was aboard and why they were here. Rowan's shores had become treacherous to visitors. The jagged pillars represented more than just a danger to the ship's hull; they symbolized all that had changed since May Day.Just six months earlier, those broken and barnacled spires had belonged to Gràvenmuir. The demons had called it an embassy but it had really been an occupation, a bas. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9798989654703
