The city

Built up over the millennia, layer upon layer, the City is ancient and vast. Over the centuries, it has sprawled beyond its walls, the cause of constant war with neighbouring peoples and kingdoms, laying waste to what was once green and fertile. And at the heart of the City resides the emperor. Few have ever seen him. Those who have remember a man in his prime and yet he should be very old. Some speculate that he is no longer human, others wonder if indeed he ever truly was. And a small number have come to a desperate conclusion: that the only way to stop the ceaseless slaughter is to end the emperor's unnaturally long life. From the rotting, flood-ruined catacombs beneath the City where the poor struggle to stay alive to the blood-soaked fields of battle where so few heroes survive, these rebels pin their hopes on one man. A man who was once the emperor's foremost general. A man, a revered soldier, who could lead an uprising and unite the City. But a man who was betrayed, imprisoned, tortured and is now believed to be dead...

Once a thriving metropolis, it has sprawled beyond its bounds, inciting endless wars with neighboring tribes and creating a barren wasteland of what was once green and productive. In the center of the City lives the emperor. Few have ever seen him, but those who have recall a man in his prime, though he should be very old.

  • "Ein sagenhafter Debütroman voller Spannung und Tiefe In Jahrtausenden Schicht um Schicht erbaut, ist die Stadt ein gewaltiger Moloch, der viel zu lange schon mit all seinen Nachbarvölkern im Krieg liegt. Im Herzen der Stadt residiert der Imperator. Nur wenige haben ihn je zu Gesicht bekommen, und so mancher glaubt, dass das sinnlose Kämpfen und Sterben erst dann vorüber sein wird, wenn das unnatürlich lange Leben dieses Herrschers endet. Doch nur ein einziger Mann könnte es ihm nehmen. Ein Mann, der einst der erste General des Imperators war. Der dann jedoch in Ungnade fiel und einem hartnäckigen Gerücht zufolge selbst gar nicht mehr am Leben sein soll ... Stella Gemmell hält Abschlüsse in Politikwissenschaften und Journalismus. Sie ist die Witwe des international sehr erfolgreichen Fantasyautors David Gemmell. Sie arbeiteten gemeinsam an der Troja-Trilogie, deren letzten Band sie nach David Gemmells Tod im Jahre 2006 zu Ende schrieb. Stella Gemmell lebt und arbeitet in einem alten Pfarrhaus in East Sussex. Der Moloch ist ihr erstes eigenes Romanprojekt."
