Round Two of The Great Game.
In the midst of the horror of the First World War, a stranger falls from nowhere into the mud and death of the Flanders battlefield...
After three unaccounted years Edward Exeter, wrongly accused murderer, has reappeared - bearing scars and secrets from a place he calls Nextdoor. He has crossed over from a war of spears and arrows to one of heavy artillery and poison gas. But powerful forces on both sides of a guarded mystical border have plans for the young patriot. And there are ancient prophecies to be fulfilled.
For, in a very different realm of godly intrigues, Exeter is Liberator - the one who is going to 'bring death to Death'. It is a prophecy Edward wants no part of - as, in the company of loyal comrades, he races across Britain, fleeing murderous pursuers from two separate worlds. But there is no escaping his destiny and, as has been foretold, once back in Nextdoor the Liberator is roused to action by the dead.
Welcome to the second round of The Great Game of the Gods - a ruthless contest of treachery, magic, betrayal and manipulation.
