Jack VanceThe Faceless Man is a prisoner in his own palace. His power over the people of Durdane is in the hands of Gastel Etzwane, a youth whose thirst for vengeance against the dreaded Rogushkoi would be sated only by oceans of their blood. For these invincible foes who threatened Durdane had taken and killed his mother and sister.
To destroy the Rogushkoi Gastel would have to unite a world that survived only through its separateness.
