Its economy depends on the power of the captive spirit, Seedless, an andat bound to the poet-sorcerer Heshai for life. Enter the Galts, a juggernaut of an empire committed to laying waste to all lands with their ferocious army. Saraykeht, though, has always been too strong for the Galts to attack, but now they see an opportunity. If they can dispose of Heshai, Seedless's bonded poet-sorcerer, Seedless will perish and the entire city will fall. With secret forces inside the city, the Galts prepare to enact their terrible plan. \u003cbr\u003eIn the middle is Otah, a simple laborer with a complex past. Recruited to act as a bodyguard for his girlfriend's boss at a secret meeting, he inadvertently learns of the Galtish plot. Otah finds himself as the sole hope of Saraykeht, either he stops the Galts, or the whole city and everyone in it perishes forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDANIEL ABRAHAM has had stories published in the \u003ci\u003eVanishing Acts\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBones of the World\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Dark\u003c\/i\u003e anthologies, and has been included in Gardner Dozois's \u003ci\u003eYear's Best Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e anthology as well. \u003ci\u003eA Shadow in Summer\u003c\/i\u003e is his first novel.
