- Synopsis
- The final novel in "one of the most original approaches to fantasy adventure" ( Library Journal, starred review) about a world in which magic derives from the process of wine-making. Laura Anne Gilman's critically acclaimed, Nebula Award-nominated Flesh and Fire introduced a brilliantly imagined world where the grapevine--cultivated by the Vinearts who know the secrets of wine magic--holds together disparate lands. Now, confusion, violence, and terror are sweeping over the Lands Vin. Jerzy, Vineart apprentice and former slave, along with his companions Ao and Mahault, attempted to find the source of the foul taint that threatens the Lands Vin, only to have the journey end in tragedy, with Ao severely wounded. As conditions worsen throughout the Lands, Jerzy makes the decision to return to The Berengia, to the soil that gives him strength. There, while the others secure allies and gather information, building their plan of attack, he delves into the quiet magic that has been growing within him, embracing at last the 'gift' of apostasy, knowing that his god-forbidden knowledge may be all that stands between the Lands Vin and the mage who wants to destroy it. But if he allows the magic to rise within him, Jerzy himself might become the greatest threat to the Lands Vin's survival.
