Tetrarch

The Aachim have invaded with an irresistible fleet of battle constructs – and their embittered leader, Vithis, demands half the world. 


Santhenar, on its knees after a hundred years of war against the lyrinx, is in no position to resist. But even if the Council of Scrutators agrees to Vithis’s demands, can anything satisfy his thirst for vengeance? 


Tiaan, now feeling utterly betrayed, is hunted through the abandoned city of Tirthrax by an implacable Nish, who burns at her previous rejection of his advances, and blames her for the invasion.


The future of the world rests in the hands of three flawed people. Tiaan, whose geomancy holds the key to the power that can save or destroy humanity. Nish, who has sworn to redeem himself by bringing her to justice. 


And beautiful, brave, haunted Irisis, whose great talents are hidden even from herself.


You won’t want to miss this edge-of-the seat epic fantasy series by a million-selling author.

Chimaera listed in the Sydney Morning Herald’s BEST BOOKS OF 2004.


 “Ian Irvine has produced one of those rarities in the fantasy genre, and that is a unique, well-thought-out world coupled with a well-written storyline. A gripping read.” Enigma 


“This is, attractively, grimmer and grittier than most fantasy novels with a real sense of industrial squalor and a society in paranoid melt-down-and with a neatly unpleasant set of twists at the end.” Roz Kaveney, Amazon.uk


“Irvine imagines the epic landscape through which the characters move in persuasive detail and describes it powerfully.” Australian Book Review.


“A page-turner of the highest order ... Irvine can now consider himself comfortably ranked next to the works of Robert Jordan and David Eddings and, more appropriately, the mighty Anne McCaffrey. Formidable!” SFX
