Publisher Description
Bestselling author of The Mongrel Mage, L. E. Modesitt, Jr's Quantum Shadows blends science fiction, myth, and legend in an adventure that pits old gods and new against one another in a far future world. On a world called Heaven, the ten major religions of mankind each have its own land governed by a capital city and ruled by a Hegemon. That Hegemon may be a god, or a prophet of a god. Smaller religions have their own towns or villages of belief. Corvyn, known as the Shadow of the Raven, contains the collective memory of humanity’s Falls from Grace. With this knowledge comes enormous power. When unknown power burns a mysterious black image into the holy place of each House of the Decalivre, Corvyn must discover what entity could possibly have that much power. The stakes are nothing less than another Fall, and if he doesn't stop it, mankind will not rise from the ashes. A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books

"Quantum Shadows carries the overtones of our genre’s finest writers—Zelazny and Wolfe—which is enough to commend it. . . . Modesitt has given us a vision all his own—a vision with the power to transport and challenge us in equal measures."
— Peter O'Rullian, author of The Unremembered
