GODS OF THE CARAVAN ROAD
In the days of the first kings in the north, there were seven devils ... The devil Moth was once the wizard Ulfhild, king's sword to her brother, but a fateful choice set her feet on another road. Now she wanders the world as the executioner of the Old Great Gods, bound to hunt down her former comrades, devils who escaped the cold hells after a war in the distant heavens and shared their souls with seven wizards in order to seize a place in the human world. Epic fantasy spanning several centuries of history, set in a world of diverse lands and peoples, linked by the caravan road. Gods, assassins, devils, demons, shapeshifters, immortal wanderers, and ordinary men and women caught up into their history.
