But the cities of the""Khaiem resist Galt's power with the andat--creatures of magic""with godlike powers.""Each andat is brought into being by a "poet" who must say the""right words and exert the iron will needed to control gods. The""industrialized Galt war machine is helpless against the powers""of the andat...but political intrigue and deep treachery combine""to shift the balance of power in a world of ancient empires and""immortal magics.""One man, Otah Machi, stands at the crossroads of history in these imaginary world fantasies, the fulcrum around which the wheels of epic history rotate through achingly poignant cycles of life and death, love and betrayal."Shadow and Betrayal "marks Daniel Abraham as one of today's most brilliantly original young fantasy writers.
