Skating the razor edge of a sheer precipice, the only slave of a free people rides the black winds to preserve their freedom and their lives. War is never a game for amateurs. This is the complete Tales of the Zorantian Brotherhood trilogy. Civilizations fell as the Demon Chosen of God sacrificed billions to eradicate sin from the Galaxy. Then, in a single night, they were gone. The sentient races of the galaxy grope their way back out of the Darkness, guided by two opposing groups. The Order of the Masters out of the Darkness fight anarchy and chaos to found the Rajkari Imperium. The Brotherhood of Zoran fights the Masters for freedom and individual choice. Twenty standard years ago, the Masters destroyed Zoran. Their dream of galactic order and control will soon be realized as the free planets fall before their forces. But behind this juggernaut of order, there is a growing unease, a stirring of ancient terrors. Two young humans walk naively across a very dangerous city to an appointment with a much more dangerous man. Around them, men who would prevent that meeting meet sharp death. Thus begins Black Winds, the first trilogy of the Tales of the Zorantian Brotherhood.
