Publisher Description

This remarkable first novel from award-winning short fiction writer Ken Scholes will take readers away to a new world—an Earth so far in the distant future that our time is not even a memory; a world where magick is commonplace and great areas of the planet are impassable wastes. But human nature hasn't changed through the ages: War and faith and love still move princes and nations.


In Lamentation, the first entry in the Psalm of Isaak series, an ancient weapon has completely destroyed the city of Windwir. From many miles away, Rudolfo, Lord of the Nine Forest Houses, sees the horrifying column of smoke rising. He knows that war is coming to the Named Lands.

Nearer to the Devastation, a young apprentice is the only survivor of the city—he sat waiting for his father outside the walls, and was transformed as he watched everyone he knew die in an instant.

Soon all the Kingdoms of the Named Lands will be at each others' throats, as alliances are challenged and hidden plots are uncovered.

“Windwir, la ciudad que contiene todo el saber de la orden androfracense, la luz de la Tierras Conocidas, es destruida enteramente por una antigua arma. Pronto los señores de tierras y ciudades abyacentes se posicionan alrededor del erial, para defender o luchar por la posesión de lo que queda del antiguo poder de la orden. Una telaraña de mentiras, engaños, lealtades, obsesiones y odios se entremezclan, llenando una novela atípica dentro del género de la fantasía, situada alrededor de las ruinas de una ciudad que vive en nuestra imaginación, mucho después de su destrucción, gracias a las descripciones y la añoranza de todos los protagonistas. Mas que correcta novela río, no tan buena como nos venden, y a pesar de todo, sus fascinantes personajes nos dejan con ganas de mas (desarrollo), deja un final con resquicio abierto, para colar una continuación. Que desde luego voy a esperar.”
