Description
The book, "Emissary," is the second book in the "Percheron Saga." It follows the story of Zar Boaz, Herezah, and Vizier, as they all try to figure out what Lazar's mysterious absence means for the palace. Zar Boaz is distrustful of his mother, Herezah, but too inexperienced to stand on his own. He turns to the Vizier for advice, who has a sinister agenda of his own. Ana, a young odalisque who has found some protection in Zar Boaz's eyes, is also in danger. Lazar, who has been recovering on a secret island, is slowly returning to health, and the fate of Percheron and Lyana hinge on his actions.
Without Lazar's guiding hand and presence, the Stone Palace of Percheron has become a different place. Young Zar Boaz, mistrusting of his mother, Herezah, but too inexperienced to stand on his own, seeks counsel from the suddenly changed and secretive Vizier, who has a sinister agenda of his own. As Herezah privately grieves for Lazar, she hatches an audacious plot to destroy the odalisque Ana, who flouts the rules of the harem but has found a measure of protection in having caught the eye of Zar Boaz. And Ana shoulders a tremendous burden of guilt as she matures from a beautiful girl into a stunning young woman . . . and fears what her future in the harem might hold. Yet Lazar, unbeknownst to nearly everyone in the palace, is slowly recovering on a secret island. As he struggles to return to health, war from a distant realm threatens Percheron, and, as the cyclical battle of the gods continues to build, the first of the Goddess's disciples falls into the grip of the demon Maliz. Success or failure-for both Percheron and Lyana-hinges on Lazar, whose illness has left him with a new gift he fears is a curse, and if he cannot take action soon, all may well be lost.
