The Ghosts of Blood and Innocence The Third Book of the Wraeththu Histories [Paperback]

The Wraeththu series is an underground classic, a perennial in Tor's trade paperback list.The Ghosts of Blood and Innocencebrings the second trilogy of the series to a startling conclusion.

Set on a future Earth, where humanity has been replaced by a mutant race of hermaphrodites who call themselves Wraeththu, this second trilogy explores the shocking truths of their origins.

Two brothers, children of the rulers of the Wraeththu, are raised apart from each other--one in the luxuries of the city of Immanion, the other among a distant tribe. Each becomes a tool for mysterious forces who seek to overthrow the rulers of Earth. Their struggle is both powerful and mythic, and brings this cycle of Wraeththu history to a remarkable conclusion.

STORM CONSTANTINE's cauldron has produced a phantasmagoric array of creative works, from the Wraeththu trilogy, to Andrew Collins-inspired works like the Grigori trilogy, to fantastic visions likeCalenture, non-fiction books likeEgyptian Birth Signs, and dozens of short stories. Storm Constantine lives in England.

The third book in the Histories of the Wraeththu trilogy, this book brings the story of these mysterious successors to humanity to their maturity as an independent race  and answers many questions about their origins.

No one navigates 'the web of the wyrd' quite the way British author Constantine does, as shown in volume two of her second fantasy trilogy about the conflicts within a warring hermaphrodite race, the Wraeththu, The landscape, evocative of Mayan or Egyptian ruins, makes a great backdrop for characters struggling for love and transformation.
